Sedation Dentistry

Overcome Dental Anxiety with Sedation Dentistry

Sedation Dentistry offers a relaxing and anxiety-free experience for patients who feel apprehensive about dental visits. At Kristine Marshall, DDS, we understand that dental anxiety can prevent many individuals from seeking necessary dental care. With sedation, you no longer have to feel afraid or anxious and can finally get the treatment you may have been putting off.

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It is an effective solution for those with dental phobia, a low pain threshold, sensitive teeth, a strong gag reflex, or those needing extensive dental work.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral Conscious Sedation is a popular method used to help patients feel calm and relaxed during their dental appointments. Here’s how it works:

How It Works

• Medication Administration: Before your dental procedure, we will administer a sedative medication. This medication helps you feel tranquil and at ease, reducing anxiety and discomfort.
• Time Flies By: The effects of the sedation will make your procedure seem to pass quickly. Before you know it, you’ll be heading home to recover comfortably.
• Relaxed Recovery: While oral conscious sedation won’t make you unconscious, it will make you very drowsy. You will need a companion to drive you to and from the practice, as the medication can take up to 24 hours to wear off completely.

Benefits of Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry offers numerous benefits, including:

• Anxiety Relief: Helps patients overcome fear and anxiety, making dental visits more pleasant.
• Pain Management: Enhances comfort and reduces pain sensitivity during procedures.
• Efficiency: Allows dentists to perform multiple or lengthy procedures in one visit.
• Gag Reflex Control: Minimizes gag reflex, making it easier for the dentist to work efficiently.
