Sleep Dentistry
Easy and pain-free treatment, done while you sleep
Welcome to Sleep Dentistry at Dental on Errard!
Restful Sleep & Painless Dentistry
General anaesthetic is a safe, affordable, and effective method that ensures you are unconscious and relaxed during your treatment. This is done by inhaling a drug or agent through a mask placed over your nose, and results in a complete or partial loss of feeling and sensation for the duration of your treatment.
​
At Dental On Errard, we complete our treatment under general anaesthetic on-site, in our Studio building theatre.
General anaesthetic is available on-site at Dental on Errard, and is helpful to:
​
-
Adults and children aged 5-75 years
-
People who have dental anxiety or have had traumatic past experiences​
-
People who are unable to receive local anaesthetic or have physical disabilities
-
Children who struggle to cooperate for dental treatment
-

Nitrous Oxide
Also known as "laughing gas", nitrous oxide can be an alternative to general anaesthetic.
​
Nitrous oxide is inhaled through a mask over the nose. It is not a painkiller, although can help a patient relax, feel less anxious, and can reduce the sensation of pain.
​
Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, so you are still able to drive home. As long as you are not pregnant, currently on certain medications, or have a history of substance abuse, nitrous oxide may be an option for you.
