SEDATION DENTISTRY


How It Works
​

Oral sedation makes use of a prescription medication that induces a drowsy, relaxed feeling.  Because we care for your safety we ask that you arrive the day of your appointment one hour prior to your scheduled procedure to take the medication. We will set you up to be monitored and record your vital signs throughout the procedure. Due to the drowsy effects of the medication, the patient to be sedated must have a family member or friend they trust bring them to the dental office, return them home, and stay with them for a few hours. ​Sedation dentistry is used to provide a relaxing and anxiety-free experience for certain patients undergoing dental treatment. It allows patients that are too afraid to go to the dentist to receive the dental care they need while avoiding the common apprehension known as dental phobia.

​There are 3 different types of sedation:

1. - The lightest form of sedation is nitrous oxide (laughing gas). This produces a mild sense of relaxation. 

2. - Oral sedation is a moderate form of sedation. This form of sedation typically uses a pill taken before the dental visit to produce a moderate to deep state of relaxation. Patients remain conscious and able to respond and understand the dentist.  However, patients might not remember much.  As a result, time will appear to pass very quickly as patients were "asleep" during the procedure.


3. - The deepest form of sedation is IV (intravenous) sedation and general anesthesia.  Patients can remain conscious and able to respond and understand the dentist but remember little or nothing about the dental procedures. For the severe phobic patient and patients with special needs, we offer general anesthesia
