Sedation
Many people are afraid or uncomfortable going to the dentist. Relaxed dentistry offers pain-free and anxiety-free dental procedures for patients who fear dental procedures, fear needles, have difficulty with their gag reflex, have very sensitive teeth or have difficulty becoming numb from oral injections. It also provides an opportunity to perform multiple or lengthy dental procedures in a single session.
Relaxed dentistry with medication requires that the patient take a prescribed medication about one hour before the scheduled visit. The patient will arrive at the dentist in a deeply relaxed state, though fully responsive. During the procedure, patients aren’t unconscious, but mentally “detached” from what’s going on. The sedative usually lasts about six hours and the patient will need a ride to and from the dental appointment. If you fear dental procedures, then relaxed dentistry may be the no-pain, low-anxiety dental alternative you desire. For more information about Relaxed Dentistry, visit www.sedationcare.com.
