Dr Rob Endicott

Rob has been a dental sedationist since 2005, helping thousands of patients complete dentistry procedures across the UK. Having retired from clinical dentistry in 2018, he now solely works on sedation for patients receiving dentistry across the UK, supporting dentists as they provide anxiety free care for their patients.

He is former President of the Association of Dental Anaesthetists, a group of medics and dentists dedicated to helping patients through sedation and anxiety relief. Rob is a pioneer in the use of Remimazolam, a new safer, more controllable sedative with fewer side effects, allowing patients to recover and return to normal more quickly. He regularly lectures around the country and acts as a Clinical Advisor.

Rob says: “Over the years I have seen the lives of patients improve radically by being able to receive the dental care they so desperately need, thanks to the comfort and ease which sedation provides. People suffer for so many years, coping with regular pain and growing anxiety until they believe it’s too late. With modern techniques like full mouth implant treatment being performed under sedation, patients really can get their smile back, thereby regaining their confidence. It’s a privilege to be involved with their care and facilitate this life changing process.

Many people have a needle phobia as well as a dental phobia, and for these patients Rob can use a technique called intranasal sedation, where a sedative is inhaled. This can provide deep relaxation and feelings similar to intravenous sedation.
