Understanding Sedation Dentistry (Sleep Dentistry)
Visiting the dentist can be a very intimidating experience for some patients, particularly for young children. Many people avoid necessary dental treatment simply because they feel anxious or uncomfortable during procedures. Sedation dentistry is designed to make dental visits easier and less stressful. For certain complex treatments, sedation is essential to ensure the procedure can be completed safely and effectively.
Why You Might Benefit From or Require Sedation Dentistry
You may benefit from sedation dentistry if you experience significant anxiety about visiting the dentist. For young children, getting them into the office can be a struggle, and once in the chair, fear and panic may affect their perception of dental care for years to come. Some patients have physical or mental conditions that make it difficult to remain still during treatment. In all cases, sedation dentistry provides a safe and effective solution, available in a variety of options.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Sedation (Sleep) Dentistry?
Most patients qualify for sedation dentistry. The type of sedation can be tailored to each person, making it a safe and effective way to stay relaxed during dental visits. Sedation is especially useful for more complex procedures, such as multiple extractions or oral surgery. If you ever feel anxious or overwhelmed during treatment, sedative options are available to help you remain calm and comfortable.
What You Can Expect With Typical Sedation (Sleep) Dentistry
Before administering sedation, we will have a consultation to determine the best option for you. Sedation comes in various types and levels—some provide partial relaxation, while others allow the patient to be fully asleep. Our goal is to ensure a calm, comfortable experience and to inform you of all available options. Sedation is suitable for both children and adults and is especially helpful for those who have difficulty remaining still in the dental chair.
