Sedation dentistry is a technique that allows patients who suffer from dental anxiety or dental phobia to get the dental care they need. Dental anxiety or dental phobia prevents patients from getting the dental treatment they need, and can lead to serious oral health issues.
Absolutely! Sedation dentistry is one of the most studied treatments in all of dentistry. Our dentist has received advanced training in sedation dentistry and sedation techniques. He ensures that you are completely safe and comfortable throughout your procedure.
Patients who receive sedation dentistry also report that they are grateful for the experience. They remember little to nothing of their procedure, and they feel calm and relaxed the entire time.
Sedation dentistry offers patients the ability to relax in the dentist’s chair through sedation methods that can dull pain, ease muscle tension, and relieve anxiety.
Patients should never feel ashamed about needing sedation dentistry. It’s quite common, and dentists are highly trained to administer sedation safely.
