Aims

For too many patients, their anxiety persists for a lifetime even if treatment has been provided under sedation. This is an unsatisfactory state of affairs for the patient, their dentist and the health service. The talk will argue that a treatment plan which includes both provision of dental treatment AND interventions aimed at reduction of anxiety levels will be beneficial for all concerned.

Objectives

1) To appreciate the importance of holistic assessment and treatment of the anxious patient

2) To raise awareness of the range of behavioural methods of anxiety reduction, their effectiveness and limitations

3) To increase knowledge of how to integrate sedation into a holistic treatment plan.

Learning outcomes

To understand:

Who benefits from sedation?

What are the limitations of sedation?

When is sedation appropriate?
