Sedation puts you into a pleasant state of twilight sleep — you remain conscious but are barely aware of the treatment. Ideal for anxious patients and medium-sized procedures at our practice in Zug.
During sedation, the patient is given a tranquilliser and pain-reliever before dental treatment — usually intravenously or as a tablet. This puts them into a relaxed twilight sleep: although the patient remains conscious and can follow basic instructions, they are barely aware of the treatment. Unlike with general anaesthesia, no breathing tube is required.
After waking up, most patients have no memory of the procedure, or only very fragmentary recollections — which makes sedation the preferred method for many patients with dental anxiety.
During an initial consultation, we will discuss whether sedation is the right choice for you. Alternatively, nitrous oxide and general anaesthesia are available.
We’d be happy to advise you — calmly, openly and without any pressure.
