Are you one of the many people who feel a knot of anxiety tightening in their stomach at the thought of visiting the dentist? You're not alone. Dental anxiety, sometimes called dental phobia, is a very real and common issue. In fact, studies from Dental Phobia show that 53% of adults in the UK experience some level of fear when it comes to dental visits. If you're looking for a dentist in Keynsham, Bath, and Bristol who understands your fears and prioritises your comfort, look no further than us here at Charlton Road Dental.

Avoiding the dentist due to anxiety can have serious consequences for your oral health. Regular check-ups and treatments are essential for preventing and managing dental problems like tooth decay and gum disease. Putting off dental care can lead to:

• Worsening dental issues that require more extensive and costly treatment.
• Increased pain and discomfort.
• Negative impacts on your overall health and well-being.

Imagine feeling completely at ease during your dental visit, almost like you're drifting into a peaceful daydream. That's the magic of intravenous sedation! It's a simple and gentle way to melt away any anxiety you might have about your dental procedure. We administer a mild sedative through a vein, usually in your hand or arm, and very quickly, a wave of calmness washes over you.

You'll remain awake and able to talk to us, but you'll feel incredibly relaxed and untroubled. We keep a close eye on you throughout to ensure you're comfortable and happy before we begin any treatment. Many patients find that afterwards, the entire process feels like a distant memory. Intravenous sedation allows you to receive the dental care you need without worry, making your experience with us at Charlton Road Dental a positive and stress-free one.
