Do You Hate Going to the Dentist?
 

We can help you...

...with sedation dentistry, you can stop the hate and fear of going to the dentist.

Sedation Dentistry Can Help YouThe use of sedation allows you to have dental work that would normally require 5-10 office visits. Not only that, most patients have no memory of their procedures being done.

We regularly treat patients who:

have bad memories of past dental visits
have high anxiety and fear
haven't seen the dentist in 5-30 years
have extensive dental problems
are embarrassed by the condition of their teeth
have difficulties getting numb
have a strong gag reflex
are afraid of needles and shots

We welcome new patients, emergencies, and non-sedation patients.

Conscious Sedation

There have been recent advances in techniques and medications used to prevent dental pain and anxiety. Today, there is usually little discomfort during dental visits. Trying to understand the various drugs used for managing dental pain and anxiety can be confusing. Some drugs help patients relax, some control pain and still others "put you to sleep". We will consider a multitude of factors when choosing which drugs should be used specifically for you. The type of procedure needed to be performed, your general health, any medications that you are presently taking, your level of anxiety are all factors to be considered when determining what is the best care for you.

Conscious sedation may involve the use of previously prescribed analgesics, anti-anxiety agents, and /or sedatives in such a way that you are able to achieve a greater level of sedation. Patients who have been sedated in this fashion often feel as though they have been asleep throughout their appointment.

Some people have no anxiety when undergoing treatment. Others find it difficult to even enter the dentist's office. Over 50% of the population does not visit dentists for fear of dentistry. If you are nervous or fearful about dental treatment, sedation can help relax you, making your experience more pleasant.

Talk to us about your anxiety. That may be enough to relax you. If not, there are many anti-anxiety drugs that can be used during dental treatment. We can even give you one before your appointment, to use if you have trouble sleeping the night before. If you are given an anti-anxiety drug to take the night before, you should arrange to be driven to and from the office. Also, avoid alcohol and over-the-counter sleep aids, because they can react with sedating medications.
