Sedation dentistry is used to help patients relax and minimize their anxiety while going through various dental treatments and procedures. Sedation dentistry is the use of oral medications, general anesthesia, or intravenous sedation (IV sedation). Sedation is not for pain relief but is often used along with pain medications to provide a relaxed, pain-free experience.
Sedation dentistry is a great solution for patients that experience fear, stress, or anxiety during dental procedures such as: gum surgery, tooth extractions or oral surgery, dental implants, root canals, and more.
If you have avoided dental care because of stress or anxiety, contact us today to learn more about the sedation dentistry services we offer with a free consultation.
Who Benefits From Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry provides benefits to patients of all ages with various treatment options available depending on the patient’s needs. There are many reasons a person may be a good candidate for sedation dentistry. These include:
- Dental phobia
- Previously negative dental experience
- Fear of needles
- Sensitive oral nerves
- Local anesthetic resistance
- Anxiety disorders
If you experience any of the above, talk to your dentist about your concerns, fears and the best sedation dentistry procedure for you.
The main goal of mild sedation is to relieve dental anxiety and reduce fear. A local anesthetic is used along with pain medication to help reduce and eliminate pain and the level of anxiety during the dental procedure. The most common form of a mild sedative is the administration of nitrous oxide and anxiolytic medications. Procedures and treatments performed under conscious sedation include:
- Routine dental work
- Deep cleaning, scaling, and root planting
- Implant placement
- Crowns and bridges
- Extractions
- Cosmetic Dentistry
