Sedation dentistry is any dental procedure in which patients are given an anti-stress medication to ease their anxiety or induce sleep. It is an excellent option for children suffering from anxiety, special needs, or who are unable to remain still throughout the treatment. Safe sedation dentistry involves using anti-anxiety medication to help patients feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible throughout their treatment. At Persimmon Dental Care, we offer options depending on the unique needs of each patient, including:
It makes use of an anti-anxiety medication that is taken through the mouth before your appointment, and you start to feel more relaxed before you arrive at our dental practice. As you would remain calm and relaxed for a few hours after your appointment, you will require someone to drive you to and back from the dental practice.Â
It is the lightest form of sedation dentistry. It has earned its nickname laughing gas from the happy sensations it raises in those who inhale it. It does not put patients to sleep but allows them to feel completely at ease.
It employs drugs to let patients rest while receiving dental care. It benefits patients with high levels of anxiety or those with particular needs. General anesthesia is an alternative for patients suffering from extensive tooth decay, individuals going through dental surgery, or special requirements.Â
Our dental professionals take every precaution to ensure children are as safe as possible when undergoing sedation. A variety of variables are considered when choosing the appropriate dosage and method of sedation, such as the child's weight, age, and medical background. Sedation dentistry is a good option for children with anxiety that receive dental care.
As some of the few dentists specializing in sedation dentistry and the treatment of anxious patients, our dentists make sure to offer 100% pain-free dental treatment.
