Sedation Options for Moderate to Severe Anxiety
For patients with more significant anxiety, or for those undergoing longer procedures, we offer several sedation options.
Sedation Option | What It Does | Best For |
Penthrox (green whistle) | Self-administered inhalational analgesic for pain relief and anxiety reduction | Mild to moderate anxiety |
IV sedation | Administered intravenously by a specialist; you remain conscious but deeply relaxed | Moderate to severe anxiety |
General Anaesthesia (GA) at hospital | Fully unconscious; treatment performed in a hospital setting | Complex procedures or severe phobia |
We will discuss which option, if any, is appropriate for your medical history and treatment needs. These services are provided by trained practitioners in appropriate clinical settings.
The ADA supports the use of sedation for anxious patients when clinically appropriate.
