Afraid of the dentist or have a strong gag reflex? Conscious sedation is the ideal solution for experiencing every treatment in a calm and relaxed way, especially for anxious patients, children or adults with dental phobia.

It is a simple, safe and non-invasive technique that involves inhaling a mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide through a nasal mask. The patient quickly enters a state of deep relaxation but stays fully conscious and cooperative throughout the session. There is no fear, tension or pain: time seems to pass more quickly and the treatment is often experienced as a pleasant, stress-free moment.

It is a particularly useful technique for children, patients with generalised anxiety, those with a very active gag reflex or who find it hard to tolerate lengthy procedures. The effect wears off within a few minutes, allowing an immediate recovery after the session, with no need for assistance or prolonged rest.
