It is okay to start with a conversation.
Ask about support during dental treatment and whether sedation may be suitable. The practice lists sedation options, but assessment is required and suitability depends on the individual and the proposed treatment. Ask the team to confirm current availability, who would provide the service, relevant risks and the preparation and recovery arrangements.
What to discuss at your visit
- What makes dental visits difficult for you
- Your medical history and current medicines
- Available support and sedation suitability
- Risks, costs, preparation and recovery instructions
Every person’s needs are different. A dental assessment is required to discuss suitability, benefits, risks, alternatives and costs. This page does not replace advice from your treating practitioner.
