Get Comfortable With Sedation Therapy

Should You Opt for Sedation Therapy?

Sedation therapy serves patients with anxiety or other physical problems well because it helps them relax during dental procedures. It isn’t required and you don’t need special documentation to get it. Anyone who has a fear of the dentist, special needs, challenges understanding the procedure, or trouble sitting still can opt for sedation therapy.

Choosing the Sedation That's Right for You

Determining your or your family member's anxiety level is important to deciding which treatment to use.

Four sedation options exist including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral medication, IV sedation, and general anesthesia.

All but general anesthesia leaves you awake but relaxed. You are conscious to answer questions but are in "twilight sleep."
