A dental practice on Victoria Street in Cambridge that offers intravenous sedation for patients who are nervous about treatment. The sedative used is midazolam, given through a vein in the arm. It is fast acting and removes anxiety, but it does not numb sensation, so local anaesthetic may still be needed. The practice says at least two people are with a patient at all times during sedation, and a support person is welcome. Patients rest after treatment and must be taken home by a friend or relative. They are told not to drive or make important decisions for the rest of that day, and to avoid alcohol. The website also explains its fillings, with silver amalgam and white composite options, and it describes the patient's comfort as the reason for its techniques. Enquiries go to admin@gentledentalcambridge.co.nz. A price list is on the website.
