What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is a term that describes the use of anesthetic and other medication to calm patients before a dental procedure. It helps reduce any anxiety, fear, or panic patients may feel.
Medication for sedation dentistry varies on a case-by-case basis and can range from mild to strong.
Some patients may require only a local anesthetic, while others may need additional medications, such as:
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
- Oral Sedation
At Oak Hills Dentistry, Dr. Smith works with our patients to determine the best course of treatment for each patient case. He wants you to feel comfortable during your sedation dentistry visit and looks forward to helping you get a more accurate diagnosis, possible options to solve your specific problem, and cost estimates!
What Are the Benefits of Sedation Dentistry Dental Services?
Sedation dentistry aims to make dental procedures as comfortable as possible.
Dr. Smith will consider the patient’s age, health, and medical history when determining which types of sedation to use. Sedation dentistry is beneficial for patients who:
- Are nervous about going to the dentist–with sedation, you can trust that your experience will be pain-free
- Have high anxiety or panic attacks while at the dentist
- Want to save time (sedation dentistry makes Dr. Smith’s work easier, allowing him to do more in one visit)
