Anxiety Relief and Dental Pain

At Sunnybank Hills Family Dental, we offer our patients pain relief called Penthrox so your dental experience will be as comfortable as possible. Penthrox is the combination of an inhaler device and a pharmaceutical agent that has been used in Australia for over 30 years by healthcare professionals for the provision of immediate pain relief.

Penthrox™
When used as directed, it is safe, effective and quick. Penthrox will provide you with strong pain relief while at the same time helping you feel more comfortable. And you are in control of the level of your relief, simply by inhaling Penthrox through the Penthrox Inhaler. Ask your dentist for Penthrox prior to your treatment.

Patient instructions and information…

• Relief will commence after approximately 6 – 10 breaths.
• Relief will persist for several minutes after ceasing use of Penthrox
• The patient is in control of the level of their relief.
• Breathe through the mouthpiece, initially ensuring that the “dilutor” hole of the AC Chamber is not covered.
• Breathe out either through the AC Chamber attached to the Penthrox Inhaler or through the nose (patient preference).
• If further relief is required, the “dilutor” hole of the AC Chamber may be covered for a higher inspired concentration of Penthrox
