What is Sedation Dentistry?

Oral Sedation Dentistry is a wonderful service for patients who are looking for a more comfortable and relaxing dental experience. With Oral Sedation, oral sedative medications can be used to reduce patient fear and anxiety, allowing patients to undergo a wide range of dental procedures in a comfortable atmosphere. Oral Sedation can be used for simple cleanings to more complex procedures.

Who Can Have Oral Sedation?

Sedation is most appropriate for people with a real fear or anxiety that is preventing them from going to the dentist.

Sedation dentistry may also be appropriate for people who:

• Have a low pain threshold
• Can't sit still in the dentist's chair
• Have very sensitive teeth
• Have a bad gag reflex
• Need a large amount of dental work completed
