In brief<\/div>\r\n

For some people a trip to the dentist is not an unpleasantness you put up with and forget, but something you put off for years. Analgosedation exists precisely for those patients, and also for everyone who wants to get through a longer procedure calmly.<\/p>\r\n

What is important to know.<\/h2>

This is light, controlled sedation led and monitored by a specialist in anaesthesiology. You stay conscious and able to cooperate, but relaxed and free of fear, and the time usually passes more quickly than you expect.<\/p><\/div>\r\n

\r\n
01<\/div>

What analgosedation is<\/h3>

Light sedation with medication under supervision, which calms the body and removes tension during the procedure. It is not general anaesthesia.<\/p><\/div>\r\n

02<\/div>

Who it is for<\/h3>

For anxious patients, for a pronounced fear of the dentist, and for longer procedures we want to complete in a single appointment.<\/p><\/div>\r\n

03<\/div>

How to prepare<\/h3>

Before the procedure we check your general health and the medicines you take, and we agree instructions on preparation and on having someone accompany you afterwards.<\/p><\/div>\r\n

04<\/div>

Safety and monitoring<\/h3>

The whole procedure is led and monitored by a specialist in anaesthesiology, with your vital signs monitored.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n

Common questions<\/span>

Frequently asked questions.<\/h2><\/div>\r\n
\r\n

Is analgosedation safe?<\/h3>

With assessment and constant monitoring by an anaesthetist, it counts among the controlled and safe procedures. Before treatment we check whether it is suitable for you in particular.<\/p><\/div>\r\n

Will I be unconscious?<\/h3>

No. This is light sedation; you are relaxed and able to cooperate, but without fear, and many people have little or no memory of the procedure.<\/p><\/div>\r\n

Can I have everything done at once?<\/h3>

Analgosedation makes it possible to carry out longer procedures in a single appointment, which reduces the number of visits.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n
