SEDATION DENTISTRY
GARNERS BEST SEDATION DENTISTRY SERVICE
If you are anxious about going to the dentist because of previous experiences, sedation dentistry is worth considering. You can feel at ease throughout your visit by combining gentle techniques with sedation! Our experienced Garner dentist provides various levels of dental sedation and ensure everyone has a safe and relaxing treatment option.
THE ADVANTAGES OF DENTAL SEDATION
Dental sedation can be used for any procedure, such as fillings, root canals, crowns, implants, wisdom tooth extraction, and more. Some of the benefits are as follows:
- Multiple procedures in a single visit
- Daydreaming or light napping during the treatment
- Overcoming dental anxiety
- Enhanced procedure comfort
TYPES OF DENTAL SEDATION
Nitrous-Oxide
Nitrous oxide, or “laughing gas,” is a gas that can be administered to reduce sensitivity and help you relax during dental procedures. Simply inhale the sedative while wearing a soft mask over your nose. Nitrous oxide is a fast-acting anesthetic that allows you to remain fully conscious throughout your procedure.
IV Sedation
If you’re planning a complicated or lengthy dental procedure, IV Sedation is a great way to relax. The medication is administered via an IV drip line to provide a safe but deep level of sedation. You’ll feel as if you’re dozing off during the appointment. IV sedatives are ideal for oral surgery procedures like wisdom tooth extraction.
Topical Numbing
Before we numb your gums with local anesthetic, we’ll apply a topical numbing gel. Our dentist’s office has flavored jellies that contain ingredients similar to an oral numbing gel you’d find in a drugstore, making your injection more comfortable.
