Learn about the problem and how our sleep dentists can help you cure it, as well as how we may assist you without letting anxiety get in the way.
Are you afraid to visit the dentist?
Sedation dentistry is frequently used in conjunction with sleep or general anesthesia. It might be required for a variety of reasons, including as an alternative to general or sedative anesthesia. Avoiding the dentist because you are afraid of needles and drills raises your anxiety, or you are just plain scared, is a wonderful choice that aims to calm you down. There are several choices for patients, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and deep sedation.
Patients who have difficulty remaining still in the dentist's chair may benefit from this. A child, for example, may find it tough to stay quiet while a cavity is being filled. Sedation dentistry might assist children to fall asleep or, at the very least, relax them so that they can remain still during the treatment.
Is dental sedation treatment safe?
It's also crucial to talk with your dentist about any medicines you're currently taking, as well as any known allergies, to avoid any sort of reaction. You can't just choose anybody to give you a sedative. To administer the medication, the dentist must be licensed and certified. Furthermore, your vital signs are checked on a regular basis throughout the treatment to ensure that you don't suffer any negative consequences.
