This isn\u2019t an alternative to anaesthetic. Sedation isn\u2019t a pain killer, it helps you to relax and stay calm during the treatment. You will be conscious but may not remember the procedure afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>Sedation can be taken either as a tablet before your treatment or administered intravenously through an injection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Easy does it<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We use The Wand, which is a pain-free injection system. The Wand is a small, thin, pen-like device that we use to administer anaesthetic. It works at a low pressure; many of our patients aren\u2019t even aware that it\u2019s in use. We can be much more precise in targeting the area that needs numbing, which means little or no freezing of surrounding areas such as the lips.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clear and clean<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We explain all our treatments in advance thoroughly, including timescale and cost, so you know exactly what will happen each step of the way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ask us anything<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You are welcome to drop in to see our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilecraft.co.uk\/\">dentist in Stevenage<\/a> and talk to any of the team about your dental health.
