Conscious Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry is now a reality and available to you. Who is a candidate for sedation? Adults who experience any of these concerns:

• High fear and anxiety
• Numbing difficulties
• Memories of traumatic dental experiences
• Uncomfortable with shots and needles
• Complicated dental problems
• High gag reflex
• Dislike of odors, tastes, and sounds related to dental treatment
• Self-conscious of your teeth
• Time restrictions
• Tooth sensitivity

One of your options is oral sedation with tablets of medication so you’ll be sedated for your appointment. Another is IV sedation with an in-office certified registered nurse anesthetist. Discuss these with our patient coordinator or the doctor to find the best option for you.
