Relaxed Dental Visits
what is Sedation Dentistry
We start with a respectful conversation about your experiences and worries, then match comfort strategies to your health and the complexity of care. Many people do well with enhanced communication, topical anesthetics, music/headphones, and breaks; others may benefit from additional options after a health review. Safety and clarity are paramount: screening, clear instructions, appropriate monitoring, and written aftercare.
Ideal Candidates
- Moderate to high dental anxiety, strong gag reflex, difficulty getting numb, or long/complex appointments. Suitability depends on health history and the selected method.
- Reduced anxiety and improved comfort
- Ability to complete more care in fewer visits
- Better overall oral health adherence over time
- Consult & screening (history, meds, allergies, triggers)
- Option review (comfort aids; additional methods as appropriate)
- Pre-visit instructions (fasting if required, escort, logistics)
- In-chair care (monitoring as indicated; calm pacing; breaks)
- Post-visit guidance (rest, hydration, when to call)
- Follow the written instructions provided for the specific approach used. If an escort is required, arrange in advance. Avoid driving or important decisions until fully recovered (as advised by your dentist).
- Risks vary by method and health history; we mitigate with screening, clear communication, and appropriate monitoring.
- Non-pharmacologic comfort strategies alone (topical anesthetics, pacing, short visits) work well for many.
