For many people, the thought of visiting the dentist—even for routine care—can trigger significant dental anxiety. This fear can unfortunately lead to delaying necessary dental treatment, allowing minor issues to become major problems. At our Parklands clinic, we believe everyone deserves a healthy smile, and we are dedicated to providing the compassionate care and specialized solutions to help you overcome your fears.
Our Approach to Comfort and Care
The first step in addressing dental anxiety is simple: listening. Our experienced team takes the time to understand the source of your nervousness and tailors your experience to your comfort level. We offer various sedation options to ensure you can receive your required care in a relaxed, stress-free state.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas):
The Experience: You inhale a mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide through a small mask. It creates a feeling of relaxation, well-being, and a lessened sense of discomfort.
The Benefit: The effects wear off almost immediately once the mask is removed, meaning you can safely drive yourself home shortly after the procedure.
Oral Sedation:
The Experience: This involves taking a prescribed pill (usually a benzodiazepine) before your appointment. It induces a moderate state of relaxation, making you feel drowsy and significantly less concerned about the procedure.
The Benefit: It’s great for longer procedures or higher anxiety levels. Note: You will require someone to drive you to and from your appointment.
We are committed to making your visit to our Nairobi clinic a positive one. Don’t let fear dictate your oral health. Discuss your concerns with our team; we have the solutions to ensure your dental treatment is calm, comfortable, and successful.
