• Fact: There Are Different Levels of Sedation Dentistry Available. Our team can provide several different types of sedation that have their own unique benefits. Minimal sedation allows the patient to be awake and alert during the entire procedure. It goes into the system with the help of a mask and nitrous oxide. As soon as the mask is removed, the nitrous oxide is out of the system. Other methods of sedation allow an individual to remain conscious but in a dream-like state. General anesthesia will enable the patient to remain totally unconscious.
• Fact: Sedation Dentistry Has Been Around for Many Years. There have been different forms of sedation dentistry used by dentists for several years.
• Fact: Sedation Dentistry Is Useful for More Than Just Anxiety about the Dentist. Sedation dentistry is also beneficial to patients who may be going through several treatments at the same time, those who have a sensitive gag reflex, or younger patients who may have a difficult time remaining still.
• Fact: Sedation Dentistry Is Safe. Our team is experienced and highly trained in providing sedation for patients during treatments and procedures. You can feel completely safe and anxious free with our help.
