Sedation Dentistry Is A Low Stress Way To Do Dental Treatment
Dr. Nelson has been through the required special training to provide dental sedation. Sedation dentistry helps reduce your fears and anxieties about having dental work done by putting you in a sleep-like sedated state.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses carefully-controlled medication to help you feel relaxed and comfortable while undergoing a dental procedure. This allows you to receive the care you need without overwhelming stress.
While sedation won’t cure anxiety, some patients have found that over time, successful visits with sedation help them to feel less stressed about dental care overall.
Oral sedation is administered in pill form and is taken the night before as well as an hour before treatment. In addition, more is given while the treatment is being done. The medication is prescription strength and designed to help you mentally and physically relax.
For oral sedation, you will need to arrange transportation to and from your appointment.
Benefits Of Being Sedated During Procedures
When sedated, you can undergo any procedure from a simple cleaning to extensive dental treatments. One of the best things about sedation is the medication many times has an amnesia effect, leaving you with little to no memory of the procedure.
Here are 4 additional benefits of sedation:
1. Enhanced effect of local anesthetics
2. Suppressed gagging reflex
3. Decreased soreness
4. You can have multiple treatments done in one visit
Effects of the medication last about 6-10 hours after your appointment.
Does Oral Sedation Put Me To Sleep?
Sedation dentistry is sometimes referred to as “sleep dentistry” because you will feel like you fell asleep during your treatment. Under oral sedation, you are fully conscious and will respond to verbal requests and questions from the dentist. Even the most anxious and frightened patients are happy with the results of sedation dentistry.
How Will I Feel after sedation?
After sedation, you may feel groggy, sleepy, and relaxed. You will likely want to sleep the rest of the day and will be able to return to normal activities the next day. Many times, with the sedation medication, you don’t remember even having the dental work done!
Is Being Sedated During Dental Treatments Safe?
Sedation dentistry has an extensive record of being very safe and effective. It's important to inform your dentist about any medical conditions or medications you are on during your consultation. Your physical health is a priority while under our care.
Can All treatments Be done In One Day?
We do everything we can to complete your treatment in one appointment after you have your consultation. Sometimes additional follow up appointments will be required to complete the treatment. We will make you aware of this once we do a consultation. We offer a one time $99 consultation if you would like to know your options for sedation dentistry. This fee will be applied to any future treatment that you have done.
