Sedation Dentistry

Experience Stress-Free Dental Care with Sedation Dentistry

What is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s an excellent option for those who experience dental anxiety, dental phobia, have a low pain threshold, have a strong gag reflex or need extensive and complex dental work. With sedation dentistry, you can receive the care you need without the stress and discomfort.

Is Sedation Dentistry Right for You?

If you experience any of the following, sedation dentistry might be the perfect solution for you:

  • Dental anxiety or fear
  • Difficulty sitting still for long periods
  • Sensitive teeth or low pain threshold
  • Strong gag-reflex
  • A need for extensive dental work

Some patients may not be eligible for sedation. Your clinician will go through your medical history and medication-use to assess your suitability.
