At Canyon Creek Dental, we understand not everyone feels comfortable visiting the dentist. Whether your child is anxious or you’ve had a difficult experience in the past, our team is here to help you feel relaxed. For those who need extra support, we offer sedation dentistry to ensure a more pleasant visit.
Sedation dentistry is a great choice for patients with dental anxiety or those feeling uneasy about treatment. It involves using medication to help you relax during your visit.
Sedation Dentistry Options:
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas): A mild sedative inhaled during treatment that quickly wears off after the procedure.
- Oral sedation: A pill taken before your appointment that helps you feel calm and comfortable.
- IV sedation: Administered through a vein, this method allows quick sedation and precise control. You’ll remain conscious but may feel so relaxed that you drift off to sleep or forget parts of your visit.
Our team is experienced and will monitor you closely throughout your visit, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience. Depending on the type of sedation, you may need a friend or family member to drive you to and from your appointment.
If dental anxiety, past negative experiences, or nervousness about treatment make it difficult for you to visit the dentist, sedation dentistry could be the solution. It’s also helpful for those with difficulty getting numb or an overly sensitive gag reflex.
