What is sedation dentistry?

Sedation dentistry provided a relaxing and stress-free dental experience. According to DOCS, more than thirty percent of people do not go to the dentist because of fear and anxiety. With the help of sedatives such as tranquilizers, depressants, anti-anxiety medications or nitrous oxide, sedation dentistry provides patients with not only stress-free experience but also pain -free dentist visits as well. 

How is it performed?

Popular in the past, intravenous (IV) sedation was most common.  This is when sedatives are delivered through injections into the blood stream.  However, in the modern world sedatives have become much more advanced by highly trained professionals.  Oral sedations are the most common technique used today and require no needles.  Just take a pill and away you go!

What happens when I take the pill?

 When you take a sedative pill, your body goes into a very relaxed state in about an hour.  Some patients even doze off into a dream state.  You feel nothing and barely remember your preconceived dental phobias.  You wake up with a healthy mouth and more beautiful smile then go home and rest.  It is painless, easy and simple.
