Who Can Benefit From Sedation Dentistry?
Many patients can benefit from sedation dentistry. At Dentistry At Its Finest, patient health and safety are our top priorities.
We make every effort to ensure that all of our patients are properly informed about their sedation dentistry options and fully understand every aspect of their care.
We find that this not only helps relieve dental fear and anxiety, but it also empowers patients to be active participants in their dental care journey.
Patients who may benefit from sedation dentistry include:
- Patients with disabilities or movement disorders
- Special needs patients
- Patients with dental fear or anxiety
- Those with a poor gag reflex
- Patients with a low tolerance for pain
- Individuals needing multiple dental treatments in one visit
- Those with a phobia of needles, blood, or loud noises
Candidacy for Sedation Dentistry
At Dentistry At Its Finest, patient health and safety come first.
To determine if sedation dentistry is the right option, our team will evaluate each patient’s overall health.
We take time to review:
- Oral health
- Medical history
- Physical condition
In some cases, a patient may need clearance from their primary care physician before sedation is administered.
Sedation Dentistry Options
After an in-depth review of your medical history and current condition, our team may recommend one or more of the following sedation options:
- Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide): Administered through a nasal mask, this sedation takes effect quickly and allows patients to remain fully conscious during treatment. In some cases, laughing gas is used alongside other types of sedation.
- IV Conscious Sedation: Administered intravenously (IV) directly into the bloodstream, this option induces deep relaxation. Patients may fall asleep but will remain conscious and responsive to commands. In most cases, patients will not remember the procedure.
- Oral Conscious Sedation: This sedation is administered as an oral pill or liquid taken before the scheduled appointment. Similar to IV sedation, oral sedation may cause drowsiness, allowing patients to relax or sleep during the procedure.
