Sedation Dentistry - Boca Raton & Fort Lauderdale Areas
Making Every Visit Comfortable
Does the idea of visiting your dentist for treatment fill you with anxiety? You are not alone! Dental fear and anxiety affect millions of people. At Brush Dental, we understand that dental anxiety can cause many patients to prolong their dental treatment. Unfortunately, this procrastination can cause dental issues to grow and become more concerning. Sedation dentistry helps you receive treatment while feeling relaxed and comfortable.
Whether you’ve had negative past dental experiences or are worried you need more extensive treatment, our team has seen firsthand how sedation dentistry helps patients with dental anxiety get the prompt, top-quality dentistry they deserve. Suppose dental anxiety prevents you from scheduling routine dental care or more complex procedures. In that case, you’ll benefit from sedation anesthesia near Delray Beach, FL, Lauderhill, FL, Coral Springs, FL, and Boca Raton, FL.
General anesthesia is a sedation dentistry option administered intravenously, rendering you completely unaware and unresponsive during your procedure. Our team monitors vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing to ensure safety.
This deep sedation method minimizes pain and discomfort, enabling our team to perform complex or lengthy procedures precisely and accurately. Inducing a state of unconsciousness ensures a comfortable, virtually pain-free experience.
Oral conscious sedation involves the administration of a single pill called a benzodiazepine that slows down activity in a specific part of your brain to ease anxiety. An added benefit is that it tends to result in short-term amnesia so that you won’t recall anything about your procedure.
A single dose is taken an hour before your visit, and the night before helps reduce anxiety and procedural-related pain. When you get this type of dental anesthesia, we closely monitor all your vitals during treatment and shortly after. A designated adult will need to drive you to and from our practice and should stay with you at home due to lingering side effects that can last up to 12 hours.
Nitrous oxide, commonly called laughing gas, is a carefully dosed combination of nitrous oxide and pure oxygen inhaled through a small nosepiece. The mildest type of dental anesthesia, nitrous oxide, induces a near-immediate euphoria, relaxation, or giddiness.
The levels can be adjusted to meet your unique needs, and the effects wear off within five minutes of turning off the nitrous oxide and breathing in pure oxygen. Nitrous oxide isn’t associated with lingering side effects so that you can drive yourself home.
IV sedation, also known as intravenous sedation, is a safe and effective method to induce deep relaxation during dental procedures. It involves administering sedative medication directly into a vein, allowing it to work quickly and efficiently. IV sedation helps patients feel calm and comfortable throughout the treatment, reducing anxiety and minimizing discomfort. Our trained professionals closely monitor this form of sedation to ensure optimal safety and dosage control for each individual.
Regular dental visits are essential for maintaining your smile and overall health. Neglecting professional dental care can lead to serious consequences beyond oral health, such as bone and tooth loss, which can impact your entire body. Untreated gum disease and tooth decay can contribute to bacterial accumulation, leading to advanced periodontitis, which can affect your heart, respiratory system, and immune function.
If dental fear prevents you from receiving necessary dental care, our compassionate team at Brush Dental is here to help. We strive to ensure every visit is as comfortable and pleasant as possible. Sedation dentistry in Delray Beach, FL, Lauderhill, FL, Coral Springs, FL, and Boca Raton, FL, can significantly improve your well-being, allowing you to receive essential dental care in a relaxed and comfortable environment.
