Getting to Know Sedation Dentistry
For many patients, dental visits can be stressful or even intimidating. Some individuals—particularly children—may avoid care altogether due to anxiety or fear. Sedation dentistry, also known as sleep dentistry, is designed to make appointments more comfortable and relaxed. It enables patients to receive necessary treatments, including more complex procedures, without the stress or discomfort that might otherwise prevent them from getting the care they need.
Ideal Candidates for Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry is an excellent option for anyone who experiences anxiety, fear, or difficulty remaining still during dental procedures. This includes children who are apprehensive about visiting the dentist, adults with dental phobias, patients with physical or cognitive challenges that make sitting still difficult, and individuals undergoing complex treatments such as multiple extractions or oral surgery. With sedation, these patients can receive necessary dental care safely and comfortably, without unnecessary stress or trauma.
Could Sedation Dentistry Be Right for You?
Sedation dentistry can help a wide range of patients, with options tailored to meet each individual’s needs. Whether you feel anxious, are undergoing a lengthy procedure, or simply want to remain calm in the dental chair, there is a safe and effective sedation method available. At your consultation, we will review your health history and recommend the approach that ensures a comfortable, controlled, and relaxed experience throughout your visit.
