Sedation Dentistry

In Hedgesville, Serving Martinsburg, Hagerstown, Frederick, And Surrounding Areas

 

Sedation dentistry is a relaxing and comfortable approach to dentistry, which solves many of the problems that often discourage people from getting proper dental care.

Sedation dentistry uses oral sedatives to help you relax and have a more comfortable experience. You will be conscious, but sedated. This differs from sleep dentistry and is much safer. Sleep dentistry requires the attendance of an anesthesiologist and the use of much more powerful anesthesia. Sedation dentistry avoids the risks and side effects of general anesthesia.

Because so many people associate dental procedures of any kind with fear and pain, many people avoid dental care whenever possible. This can lead to serious dental problems, health problems, and chronic pain that is often the result of poor dental health.

Dental care does not have to be frightening or painful. By having your procedure performed while you are in a more relaxed state, the local anesthesia which is used for numbing will be more effective, the procedure can be performed more quickly, and after the procedure you will not experience the side effects created by the straining and tension so often experienced by those who undergo dental procedures while in a state of high anxiety.

You will be conscious, but drowsy, during sedation dentistry. Many patients actually sleep through their procedure.
