 Sedation Dentistry – Reduce Dental Related Anxiety

At the Tooth Booth Family Dental Clinic, we care about our patients and we work hard to ensure everyone receives the highest quality dental care, even if a dental anxiety or phobia has prevented proper care in the past. Dr. Booth specializes in sedation dentistry to help reduce fear, pain, and anxiety.

What is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry, which may be administered via oral pill, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), or through an IV, is designed to help patients relax before and during a dental procedure. Often, patients do not remember much, if anything, about the procedure following sedation. It should be noted that sedation dentistry may be referred to as sleep dentistry, however, patients remain aware and cooperative throughout the procedure.

Who Should Consider Sedation Dentistry?

In short, anyone may benefit from sedation dentistry, however, those with intense fear or anxiety are likely to benefit the most. Those who have a fear of the dentist often forgo important preventive care, resulting in extensive decay, gum disease, and potentially life threatening infections. Sedation dentistry allows these people to overcome their fear and receive the care they need.

When extensive dental work is required, sedation dentistry can help reduce chair time, over all discomfort, and the need for multiple treatments.
