What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry refers to the use of medication to help patients relax and feel comfortable during dental procedures. Whether it’s a simple cleaning or a more complex surgical procedure, sedation can alleviate anxiety and ensure a smooth experience.
Benefits of Sedation Dentistry:
- Comfort and Relaxation: Eliminates the fear and anxiety associated with dental procedures.
- Efficiency: Lengthy and complex procedures can often be completed in fewer visits.
- Minimal Memory: For those with dental phobia, having little to no memory of the dental procedure can be a benefit.
- Pain Management: Reduces or eliminates discomfort during treatment.
- Gag Reflex Control: Beneficial for patients who struggle with this during dental procedures.
