Sedation dentistry is very effective for people who experience anxiety prior to and during their dental visits. Sedation dentistry does not put you to sleep. It induces a sense of deep relaxation that enables you to feel comfortable while we carry out our work.
AXIS Dental Group offers 2 options for Sedation Dentistry, depending on the individual patient, (a) breathing through a mask, or (b) by injection.
There are 3 levels of sedation used, again depending on the individual patient and their situation:
- general anesthesia (unconscious)
- deep sedation (unconscious, not as deep as general anesthesia, faster recovery time)
- conscious sedation (patient is responsive but unaware)
You may be a candidate for sedation dentistry if you have:
- intense fear of dental visits
- a bad dental experience in the past
- sensitive teeth
- fear of needles
- extreme dislike of the smells and tastes associated with dental procedures
- strong gag reflex or inability to keep mouth open during treatment
- difficulty with traditional “numbing”, i.e. the numbing does not take
- extensive treatment or multiple procedures to be done at the same time
At AXIS Dental Group we are specially equipped for this highly specialized form of dental care.
