Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry, which involves the use of sedation to ease along a dental treatment, is used by many different people of different ages and for a variety of reasons.

Many dental procedures that might be more involved require some sort of sedation so that you feel virtually no pain while the dentist works. But for some people, even a routine checkup that does not require sedation can be a source of discomfort that they want to avoid entirely. For people with a low tolerance for pain, sedation dentistry helps take away any reluctance you might have due to the fear of pain. The dentist will put you in a deep state of relaxation where you can still respond and be aware of what’s going on around you but you won’t feel a thing!

Reasons for sedation dentistry:

• Decreases any pain or discomfort you might feel.
• Help you overcome certain sensitivities.
• Reduce fear and anxiety.
• Lets you rest in comfort during long procedures.
