Sedation Dentistry

Many patients feel nervous or anxious when visiting the dentist and some require a little more help during visits. It is normal to have these feelings and the team at DentalCareXtra are here to make your experience as positive as possible.

We offer Happy Gas and General Anaesthetic sedative techniques for those who have issues with visiting the dentist or who require complex treatments that cannot be completed in the dental chair. We undertake general anaesthetic treatment at the Mackay Specialist Day Hospital*.

Sedation dentistry can also be helpful for anyone with a strong gag reflex and it enables our dentists to complete more work during just one visit.

All our sedation dentistry treatments are carefully monitored for your safety and comfort and are carried out under the supervision of an anaesthetist when we undertake to care for you under general anaesthetic. Lighter sedation alternatives may include tablets and happy gas.
