Sedation Dentistry

What is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry is the practice of using medication to induce a calm state in patients about to undergo a dental procedure. At all our locations, you’ll find only true, certified experts on the matter who can administer sedation dentistry in a safe and reliable manner.

What Are the Benefits of Sedation?

First, it is a completely safe technique with immediate effect, making it ideal for long and complex treatments. In addition, some forms of sedation can produce a certain degree of amnesia so the person remembers little about the intervention. It also reduces the involuntary movements that occur during treatment, allowing the professional to work better.

Who Requires Sedation?

Patients who could benefit from sedation may experience the following:

• Fear of going through dental procedures
• Negative dental encounters in the past
• Sensitive oral nerves
• Resistance to local anesthetics
• General anxiety disorders

Consider asking your dentist about sedation if you identify with any of these issues. Many dental procedures, including root canals, tooth extractions, and dental implants, can be completed with the aid of dental sedation.
