Sedation Dentistry in Tamworth

If the thought of the dentist makes you anxious, you're not alone. Oasis Smiles Dental offers sedation options at our practice at Northgate Shopping Centre, North Tamworth, to help nervous patients feel more relaxed and get the care they've been putting off.

Sedation can also help with longer or more involved treatment, such as wisdom teeth removal or several procedures in one visit, and for people who find it hard to sit still or have a strong gag reflex. It works alongside local anaesthetic, which numbs the area being treated.

How Sedation Dentistry Works

1. Consultation. Tell us about your worries and the treatment you need. We go through your medical history and medications to check sedation is suitable, and explain the options, risks and costs.
2. Preparation. We give you written instructions before your appointment, including whether you need to fast and whether someone needs to take you home.
3. Treatment. Your dentist monitors you throughout while you have your treatment.
4. Recovery. You rest until you're ready to go home, and we give you aftercare instructions. We're a phone call away if you have questions.

Not Sure You Need Sedation?

Many nervous patients find they don't need sedation once they know what to expect. Read about your first visit, or call us and we'll talk it through. If you're in pain now, call before 1pm for a same-day emergency appointment.
