Get Worry-Free Dental Visit With Sedation Dentistry

Dental sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients feel more relaxed and comfortable during their dental visits. It can help calm fearful patients who might otherwise avoid dental care.

Sedation dentistry helps patients who avoid the dentist because of dental anxiety or dental phobia. It is a safe, comfortable option for these patients, and at Dental Health PC, we offer a number of sedation dentistry options, including:

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide also called laughing gas, is often used during dental procedures to help patients relax. Patients inhale the gas through a mask that’s placed over the nose. The effects wear off quickly once the mask is removed, and patients are able to drive themselves home.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral conscious sedation may be good for those patients who suffer from dental anxiety. It involves taking a pill about an hour before your procedure. This pill will make you drowsy, but you will be conscious throughout the procedure.

Oral conscious sedation will help you relax during your procedure, and some patients do not even remember the visit. It is safe and effective, but it will not put you into a deep sleep.

IV Sedation

IV sedation is the deepest level of sedation dentistry. You will be sedated and relaxed to the point that you are essentially unaware of what is happening around you.

When a patient is sedated with IV sedation, the sedative is regulated for a set amount of time. Our dentist will monitor your vital signs during your IV sedation treatment.

What Are the Benefits of Sedation Dentistry?

When you come to our office for a sedation appointment, our dental team will work with you to decide which sedation option is best for you. There are several important benefits to sedation dentistry.

Recovery time

Most patients who have sedation dentistry procedures are able to return to work or resume all of their normal activities without any difficulties.

Is Sedation Dentistry Safe?

Yes. Sedation dentistry is safe. Your dentist will prescribe the perfect amount of sedative that is right for you. The effects of dental sedation will wear off after a few hours, and you will have no memory of your dental procedure.

Your dentist will monitor you throughout your procedure to ensure your safety and well-being.
