Modern dentistry is painless, but sometimes extra help is needed to reduce nervousness and increase comfort during treatment.<\/strong><\/p>

Sedation allows a comfortable and anxiety-free experience for anxious patients, or for larger procedures such as wisdom teeth removal. During sedation, you are still awake but in a drowsy, dreamy state, and afterwards there is usually little memory of the procedure.<\/p>

Intravenous (IV) sedation is helpful for deeper relaxation and is administered in our office at the time of treatment.<\/p>

Oral sedation is useful for mild anxiety, and involves taking a tablet before your appointment.<\/p>

In both cases drowsiness lasts for several hours after the appointment, so you require an adult to escort you home and stay with you until fully recovered.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
