About the treatment
Dental anxiety keeps many people away from care until a small problem becomes a big one. Sedation helps you relax during treatment, and for longer procedures can mean you remember little of it afterwards.
Sterling offers inhalation sedation with nitrous oxide, and general anaesthesia administered by an anaesthetist. You can talk through the options with the dentist beforehand, and bring someone with you for support.
