Sedation dentistry may be the solution to help ease your dental fears.If the thought of going to the dentist makes you downright terrified, you are not alone. Many people feel anxious or fearful about their dental appointments, and for some it prevents them from getting much needed dental work done. You should know however, that there are options available to help you feel more relaxed and at ease during your dental appointments. Learn here how sedation dentistry can help ease your dental fears.

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation is a prescription that your dentist will give you to take one hour prior to your appointment. The medication will help you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout your procedure. You won’t be asleep, but you may feel sleepy and relaxed, and you may not have much memory of your appointment. With oral sedation you will need to arrange for a ride to and from your appointment and you should not plan to participate in your regular activities for the day because the medication doesn’t leave your system right away.

IV Sedation

IV sedation is medication that is administered by an anesthesiologist who monitors your vital signs and heart rate throughout your entire procedure. IV sedation works well for patients who need multiple procedures, have a strong gag reflex, or require complex or extensive dental work. You will also need a ride to and from your appointment and time to recover after your IV sedation appointment. If you’ve been avoiding your dental work due to fear or anxiety talk to your dentist to determine if IV sedation is the right option for you.
