Who is a Candidate for Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry may be helpful if one or more of the following applies to you:
- Anxiety or fear of dentistry
- Trouble getting numb
- Sensitive gag reflex
- Need multiple treatments
- Negative past experiences
What to Expect Before, During, and After Sedation
Before sedation, you’ll have a personalized consultation to review your medical history, discuss your concerns, and determine the right level of sedation. During your visit, our experienced team will monitor your comfort and safety at every step. After sedation, patients typically recover quickly—most forms allow you to resume normal activities soon, though a companion may be needed to drive you home depending on the type used.
Sedation Dentistry Options
A variety of conscious and unconscious sedation methods are available to you at Rotem Dental Care. They include:
- Oral conscious sedation: Oral medications can help you relax, especially during long procedures. You may take these medications in the office or before you come to your appointment. We’ll prescribe you a medication that’s best for you based on your medical history and the nature of the procedure.
- Intravenous sedation: If you have a sensitive gag reflex or difficulty getting numb with dental injections, you could take advantage of our intravenous sedation dentistry.
- Laughing gas: With laughing gas you’ll be awake during the entire procedure but feel nothing. This method of conscious sedation is administered through a breathing mask and helps you feel calm and comfortable while we go to work.
- Nap dentistry: If you’d rather snooze straight through your dental appointment, then nap dentistry is the sedation option for you. With nap dentistry, we’re also able to condense several procedures and appointments into one, so you’re saving time while sound asleep!
“Treatment was exactly as described to me. All work done in one appointment under sedation. I could not ask for more. Doctor Rotem and staff handled my fear issues compassionately and made me feel very comfortable.”
