No More Dental Anxiety

The very thought of going to the dentist is enough to fill many people with fear and anxiety, but there is no reason to be afraid of going to the dentist thanks to in sedation dentistry.

Sedation dentistry allows for dental work to be painless and fast.

What is Sedation Dentistry?

Dentists rely on three types of sedation to reduce anxiety during procedures. Some patients may receive laughing gas, or inhalation sedation, to reduce pain while others may take anti-anxiety medications to reduce their apprehensions before even stepping foot in the dentist’s office.

Intravenous (IV) sedation may be used on patients who are undergoing a complex procedure or suffer from extreme anxiety. These forms of anesthesia help patients feel comfortable and relaxed throughout their entire procedures.
