Sedation dentistry involves the use of medical sedatives to calm and relax a patient prior to and during a dental procedure. These sedatives work to create a feeling of peace and wellness, specifically for those patients concerned with conscious awareness of sights and sounds involved in dental treatment that make them feel anxious, promoting a comfortable and worry-free appointment.

The benefits of using sedation dentistry include:

• Patient relaxation
• Increased comfort
• Control of gag reflex
• Little or no recollection of treatment
• Improved ability to complete multiple treatments in one dental appointment

Sedation makes it far easier for anxious patients to complete treatment that allows them to enjoy a healthier smile.
