What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication or other techniques to help patients relax during dental procedures. Depending on your level of anxiety and the nature of the treatment, sedation helps create a more calming experience by reducing discomfort and soothing nervousness.
Our goal is to ensure that you feel at ease and confident throughout your visit, whether you’re in the chair for a routine appointment or a more involved dental treatment.
Types of Sedation We Offer
To serve a wide range of patient needs, our clinic provides different sedation options.
At our clinic, your comfort and care are our priorities. Our compassionate and experienced staff are trained in providing sedation safely and effectively, ensuring every patient feels supported throughout their visit. We also use technology and techniques to enhance the overall experience, further easing any concerns you may have.
Oral sedation is a simple and effective option to ease mild to moderate dental anxiety. This involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment, helping you achieve a sense of relaxation while staying conscious and responsive throughout the procedure. You’ll likely feel drowsy, but at ease.
How to Prepare:
- Take the prescribed medication as directed by our dentist.
- Arrange for transportation to and from your appointment.
Aftercare Recommendations:
- Avoid driving or operating machinery for the rest of the day.
- Rest at home and follow any specific aftercare instructions from our team.
Nitrous oxide is a fast-acting and mild sedative inhaled through a comfortable nose mask during your appointment. It allows you to feel calm and relaxed while staying fully awake. After the procedure, it quickly wears off, leaving you able to continue your day.
How to Prepare:
- Minimal preparation is needed. Eat a light meal beforehand if instructed.
Aftercare Recommendations:
- Nitrous oxide has no lingering effects, so you can resume normal activities after your visit.
For more complex procedures or significant dental anxiety, general anesthesia may be the best choice. This option involves being completely asleep during your procedure, so you experience no awareness or discomfort.
How to Prepare:
- Avoid food and drink for a set period before your appointment as instructed.
- Have a trusted adult accompany you to the clinic and bring you home safely.
Aftercare Recommendations:
- Plan to rest for the remainder of the day.
- Avoid strenuous activities and follow any specific guidance provided by your dentist.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry isn’t one-size-fits-all, but it can meet a variety of patient needs. You might be an ideal candidate if:
- You experience fear or anxiety about visiting the dentist.
- You have a sensitive gag reflex or are sensitive to dental sounds, sights, or smells.
- You’re undergoing longer or more invasive procedures such as wisdom tooth removal or multiple cavity restorations.
- You find it difficult to sit still for extended periods during treatment.
If you’re unsure which sedative option is right for you, we’ll review your medical history, discuss your concerns, and recommend the safest and most effective choice for your needs.
