Your Gateway to Total Comfort
Sedation dentistry involves using medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It is sometimes called “sleep dentistry,” although patients are usually awake except for those under general anesthesia. The goal is to make dental treatments more comfortable and less stressful.
Fear not; we have a range of sedation dentistry options that cater to your unique needs, putting you at ease throughout your time with us.
- IV Sedation: Allow the gentle flow of intravenous sedation to wrap you in a cocoon of tranquility. Drift away into deep relaxation while our team takes care of your dental needs.
- Nitrous Oxide Sedation: Commonly known as laughing gas, this delightful option will whisk away your anxiety and leave you with a sense of ease during your appointment.
Unraveling the Sedation Process
Embrace relaxation as we administer sedative medication, promoting a state of calm and comfort during your visit. The degree of sedation can vary – from mild relaxation to a deeper state that keeps you peacefully asleep throughout your treatment. Before proceeding, our dentists will discuss your unique needs, oral health requirements, medical history, and your comfort level in the dental office. This personalized approach ensures the best results for you.
There are many benefits to sedation dentistry. It can help reduce anxiety and make it easier for patients to undergo needed dental treatments. Sedation can also help patients with a low pain threshold. Additionally, it can make it possible to complete more dental work in fewer visits.
Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry
Many people avoid visiting the dentist because they are anxious or fearful. Sedation dentistry can help these patients feel more at ease. With the help of sedation, they can receive the dental care they need without feeling stressed or scared.
Some patients have a very low pain threshold and find dental procedures uncomfortable. Sedation can help manage their discomfort and make the experience more bearable. It allows the dentist to perform necessary treatments without causing undue pain.
Patients who need multiple or lengthy procedures can benefit from sedation dentistry. It can be tiring to sit through long dental appointments. Sedation can help these patients stay relaxed and calm, making it easier to complete extensive dental work in one visit.
Safety and Side Effects of Sedation
Safety is a top priority at North Dental Professionals. Dr. Chaiken follows strict safety protocols to ensure that sedation dentistry is administered safely. The team is trained to manage any potential issues that may arise.
While sedation dentistry is generally safe, it is not without risks. Some possible side effects include drowsiness, nausea, and dry mouth. Dr. Chaiken will discuss these risks with you during your consultation. It’s important to follow all pre- and post-sedation instructions to minimize these side effects.
