Sedation dentistry has revolutionized the way people experience going to the dentist.
Gone are the days of stress and anxiety related to dental treatment.
Pros
- Makes dental visits easy for patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety.
- Sedation can be done with a pill…no shots!
- Excellent option for people who have difficulty getting numb.
- Makes lengthy procedures feel like they only took a few minutes.
- Some patients report no memory of the dental visit…and they love that!
Cons
- Patients must arrange for someone to drive them to their appointment and pick them up when they are done.
- Patients will have lingering drowsiness and will not be able to return to work or school, and cannot drive for the remainder of the day.
