Sedation dentistry can help you feel relaxed and comfortable during your procedure.
It can also help to minimize any discomfort you may feel during your treatment.
Sedation dentistry means less time spent at the dentist because procedures can be completed in one visit.
If you have ever felt anxious or nervous about going to the dentist, sedation dentistry may be a good option for you. Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It is sometimes called “sleep dentistry,” although most patients remain awake during the procedure. At the Oral Surgery Center of Lighthouse Point, a pillar of our patient care is ensuring that you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout your entire treatment using sedation dentistry.
There are different types of sedation that can be used during dental procedures:
Inhaled Minimal Sedation. Also called “laughing gas,” this type of sedation is inhaled through a small mask that is placed over your nose. It relaxes you and will make you feel lightheaded and giddy.
Oral Sedation. Oral sedation comes in pill form and is taken before your procedure. It will make you feel drowsy and you may even fall asleep during your treatment.
IV Sedation. IV sedation is administered through a small needle in your arm. You will be closely monitored by our team throughout the procedure and you will not be able to drive yourself home after the treatment.
There are many benefits to choosing sedation dentistry, including:
Relaxation. For many patients, the thought of going to the dentist is enough to cause anxiety. Sedation dentistry can help you feel relaxed and comfortable during your procedure.
Little to no pain. Sedation can also help to minimize any discomfort you may feel during your treatment.
Less time in the dentist’s chair. Some procedures can be completed in one visit with sedation dentistry, which means less time spent at the dentist!
Before you can be sedated, our team will review your medical history to ensure that sedation is the best option for you. We will also go over any instructions you need to follow before your procedure. Once you arrive for your treatment, certified anesthetist Dr. Jennifer Schaumberg will administer the type of sedation you have chosen and monitor you closely throughout the procedure. After your treatment is complete, you will need someone to drive you home as you will not be able to do so yourself.
