Sedation Methods at Hugh Fleming Dentistry
At Hugh Fleming Dentistry, our patients’ comfort and well being are of utmost importance to us. Our professional team includes a Dental Board registered dental sedationist who has been fully trained and accredited in all methods of sedation dentistry, allowing us to offer the highest quality and safety of dental care to our patients.
Treating Anxious Patients
Because we take the time to form long-term, meaningful relationships with each of our patients, we recognise when someone may be suffering from dental anxiety or phobia. Sometimes, this anxiousness can be so severe that it prevents a patient from seeking dental treatment at all, resulting in poor oral health that affects their overall wellbeing.

Types of Sedation
IV Sedation
IV sedation (also known as “sleep dentistry”) involves administering a combination of sedative drugs intravenously. It is one of the most advanced forms of sedation available, however unlike a general anaesthetic, it places the patient in a conscious, yet deeply calm and dreamlike state. It doesn’t require hospitalisation and can actually be performed right here in our dental clinic by an Dental Board registered dental sedationist.
Oral Sedation (Tablets and Medication)
Oral sedation provides the least complex and invasive form of sedation, and it simply involves a combination of anti-anxiety medication to be taken in tablet or liquid form. It can be administered for a wide range of dental treatments and like the previous sedative methods, is still highly effective.
