Dr Rex Yetton

Rex is a Fellow of the Royal College of Anaesthetists. His career spans General Practice and full time Hospital Anaesthetics. Rex has had an interest in providing anaesthesia and sedation in dental surgeries for over forty years so comes with a wealth of experience.

Nowadays ‘general anaesthetics’ are confined to hospitals and 'conscious sedation' has provided a safe and effective means to help people through any fears of dentistry, the motto 'aware but don't care' fits perfectly.The drugs used are short acting, so are largely eliminated by the end of the appointment. There will be traces of the drug remaining in your system so an escort is required to go home. Driving is not permitted for 24 hours after the appointment. It is recommended to avoid any business work, paperwork, online shopping, or social media for the rest of the day as mistakes may be made. It is best to eat lightly and drink normally before an appointment.

Away from the practice, Rex is a keen sportsman having played rugby at county level and team squash and tennis. Nowadays, Rex spends time with his family, plays a more sedate game of tennis and enjoys his electric mountain bike on the Downs.
