Understanding Sedation Dentistry
For many patients, visiting the dentist can be a stressful or even frightening experience. Some individuals, especially children, may avoid dental care entirely due to anxiety or fear. Sedation dentistry, also called sleep dentistry, is designed to make dental visits more comfortable, relaxed, and stress-free. It allows patients to receive necessary treatments—including more complex procedures—without the discomfort or fear that might otherwise prevent care.
Who Can Benefit From Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is ideal for anyone who experiences anxiety, fear, or difficulty staying still during dental treatments. This can include children who feel scared or resistant to visiting the dentist, adults with dental anxiety or phobias, patients with physical or mental challenges that make remaining still difficult, and those undergoing complex procedures such as multiple extractions or oral surgery. By using sedation, these patients are able to receive the dental care they need safely and comfortably, without experiencing trauma or unnecessary stress.
Are You a Candidate for Sedation Dentistry?
Most patients can benefit from sedation dentistry, and the type of sedation can be tailored to your specific needs. Whether you are anxious, undergoing a lengthy procedure, or need help staying calm in the dental chair, there is a safe and effective option available. During your consultation, we will review your medical history and discuss which sedation method is most appropriate to ensure a comfortable and controlled experience.
What to Expect During Sedation Dentistry
Before administering sedation, we will meet with you for a consultation to determine the most appropriate option for your needs. Sedation can vary in type and intensity, ranging from partial relaxation to full sleep, depending on what is best for you and the procedure being performed.
Our goal is to ensure a calm, comfortable, and stress-free experience while fully explaining all available options. Sedation dentistry is suitable for both children and adults and is particularly helpful for patients who have difficulty remaining still in the dental chair.
