At the Dunedin Clinic we provide a full range of services to patients of all ages; hygiene and preventative treatments, cosmetic dentistry, implants, full mouth reconstructions, porcelain, tooth whitening and TMJ therapy. Oral Sedation Oral sedation is a medication that will take effect 20 minutes after being administered. You become relaxed and unaware of any treatment, but you are still able to co-operate with the dentist. The effect of the sedation takes a few hours to wear off and you must have a companion to take you home. Relaxation For some people, their fear of dentistry is so great that it prevents them from attending the dentist for regular maintenance such as 6 monthly exams and hygiene visits. They will attend only when in pain, which in turn will reinforce their fear. We are sympathetic to these feelings and can offer ways to overcome the fears with different techniques. Relaxation is a way in which we can teach our brain to be in control of the body not vice versa. When we are faced with something we are afraid of, our bodies produce substances that raise our anxiety. Learning relaxation controls our bodies.
