What is sedation dentistry?
Avoiding dental care can have damaging effects on your oral health. Over time, these effects can lead to more serious health issues. Sedation dentistry is designed to make patients with high levels of dental anxiety more relaxed during treatment. There are several different types of sedation dentistry that do everything from numb the area to completely knock you out. In some cases, you may not even remember the procedure at all! Of course, the type of sedation you receive will depend on the type of treatment and the severity of your anxiety.
