Combining Sedation and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to Overcome Dental Phobia: a Case Report.

This case report presents a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
intervention provided for a 63-year-old male, who had experienced
dental phobia for over 50-years. This gentleman initially received
intravenous sedation (IVS) for 5-years within a Specialist Sedation
and Special Care dental department, before being referred for the
long-term management of his dental phobia, within the
embedded specialist Dental Health Psychology Service in a
London Dental Hospital. This brief report will consider aspects of
the CBT intervention delivered in relation to assessment, case
conceptualisation, course of treatment and outcomes; reflecting on
the complementary aspects of sedation and CBT. Learning points
will be identified for the role of CBT or CBT-based techniques
within dental anxiety management settings.
