What is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry is performed for dental procedures for anxious patients by administering medications to help them relax. Many patients avoid getting the required dental help because of their fear of the dentist. Sedation dentistry is performed to ensure that nervous patients enjoy healthy mouths and teeth.

What are the types of dental sedation?

The different types of dental sedation are; inhalation sedation, for patients requiring mild sedation also called anxiolysis; oral sedation, by asking patients to swallow a pill; TENS, using electrical impulses to numb the area; topical anaesthesia, using a swab to numb the area; or intra-venous sedation, for patients requiring moderate sedation and general anaesthesia for patients requiring deep sedation. General anaesthesia is used for patients only in a hospital and not in a dentist chair.

Is Sedation Dentistry painful?

Oral sedation, inhalation sedation, TENS and topical sedation are not painful. Intra-venous sedation and general anaesthesia need to be injected and patients may feel pain when the sedative is injected.

When can I travel by air after Sedation Dentistry?

Patients should travel by air two days after sedation dentistry. They should take the advice of their dentist before embarking on their journey.   

How long does recovery after Sedation Dentistry take?

Recovery from dental sedation takes between 40 to 90 minutes. Recovery depends on the type of sedation administered.  

What after care is required after Sedation Dentistry?

Patients should rest for at least three hours after sedation dentistry. They should not eat for at least four hours, until the anaesthesia wears off. They should take all prescribed medications correctly. They should resume work at least one day after sedation dentistry. They should not smoke or drink alcohol for at least two days after sedation dentistry. They should follow all dietary prescriptions given by their dentist correctly.

I am delighted with the appropriate treatmentAntoinette, Ireland, 07 11 24

Hi Antoinette here reviewing again , I wrote about my recent visit to Poly Clinic "unit E" The Gable's, Fairgreen, Limerick about skin infections that I have had over 8 years with no solution. So I'm very pleased to say Dr. Adel Bugtur has found the answers I was looking for after taking nasal + body swabs and blood tests from me. I am delighted with the appropriate treatment and most importantly he listened to me , not assuming anything else was wrong with me, is just fantastic within in 3 weeks of contacting the Poly Clinic my health and happiness has been amazingly better. Job well done 👍 kind regards and good wishes to Dr Bugtur and staff Jessica is a gem 💎 Antoinette x

The experience was brilliant and the service was 100% efficientLouise, Ireland, 20 01 25

I got a root canal done today at the Limerick clinic, and the professionalism was evident from the moment I walked in the door. I was very nervous, but Fida provided reassurance and comfort the entire time. The whole experience was completely painless. Fida, the orthodontist, communicated with me throughout the procedure. I now feel great, with no pain at all, after suffering from a very painful tooth. The experience was brilliant, and the service was 100% efficient!

Sedation for dental treatments  
Sedation is a safe and effective technique, offering anxyliotic, hypnotic, muscle relaxant and amnesic properties (in effect sleepy with nil or little memory recall).  Suited ideally for 1) nervous anxious patients, 2) long dental procedures, and 3) local conditions such as poor gag and limited mouth opening throughout treatment.

Root canals from €250
Root canal treatment is the preferred way to treat an infection in the nerve center of the tooth, known as the pulp. The pulp is the soft, inner core of the tooth that consists of blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. When the pulp is diseased or injured and cant repair itself, it dies. The most common cause of pulp death is a cracked tooth or a deep cavity. Both of these problems can let bacteria enter the pulp. Bacteria can cause an infection inside the tooth. Left without treatment, pus builds up at the root tip, in the jawbone, forming a "pus-pocket" called an abscess. Usually pain and swelling will result. Without treatment, your tooth may have to be removed. The aim of the treatment is to remove all infection from the root canal. The root is then cleaned and filled to prevent any further infection. Root canal treatment is a skilled and time-consuming procedure. Most courses of treatment will involve two or more visits to your dentist. At the first appointment, the infected pulp is removed. The root canal is then cleaned and shaped ready for the filling using thin files (as seen in the first x-ray). A temporary filling is put in and the tooth is left to settle. The tooth is checked at a later visit and when all the infection has cleared, the tooth is permanently filled. About 90 percent of root canals are successful and the pain does not return. However, sometimes a root canal needs to be redone or the tooth extracted.
