You need to visit the dentist in Melbourne but the thought itself is already giving you ANXIETY?
See how we can help

This analgesic option gives a light, sedative effect. A mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen is delivered to the patient during treatment via a small nose mask. The dose is monitored for each patient and adjusted individually to provide the required amount of relaxation.

The relaxant effect rapidly disappears after the nose mask is removed, allowing patients to go about their normal activities immediately following treatment and can be successful for anxious children.

To provide you some extra support and having you extra relaxed, we can offer Penthrox®, a self-administered methoxyflurane inhaler. It is an easy to use, non-opioid alternative to morphine for anxiety and pain control. It is widely used in emergency medicine and safe for most people.

We are patient and give you the time and attention you need to address your concerns. And sometimes, simply good communication by our team to make sure you understand what is happening (why you need treatment, what treatment is proposed) and knowing what to expect, can be enough to alleviate much of the stress associated with the visit and sedation is not required.
