Many patients would prefer to be “asleep” for their dental treatments but are aware of the risks of a general anaesthetic. Sedation has many of the benefits of general anaesthetic without the associated risks.We use intravenous Midazolam to make you feel calm and relaxed during your dental treatment. Midazolam has amnesic effects and many patients are unable to remember the vast majority of their treatment.
