Sedation Dentistry
Many people may be anxious to some degree about visiting the dentist. Statistics suggest that as many as one in seven people suffer from this anxiety.
If you are apprehensive about your dental treatments, Southwest Dental Group has Certified Oral Sedation Specialists ready to take care of you!
Sedation dentistry is a term that refers to the use of relaxation anesthesia during dental procedures such as crowns, bridges, fillings, implants, root canals, and tooth extraction. Sedation is often used during procedures that require an extensive amount of time, as well as for patients who have dental phobias.
Both adults and children can benefit with sedation dentistry. At Southwest Dental Group we want you to feel at ease and safe. Oral sedations come in the form of tablets, capsules, liquids or nitrous oxide. All medications are approved for safety by the State of California and are administered by a dentist certified in oral sedation.
Who benefits from sedation dentistry?
children age 2 and up
people who need to have extensive dental treatments
adults who have medical conditions that worsen with stress
anyone who has anxiety attacks or a phobia of needles
individuals who have a strong gag reflux
patients who have limited time for appointments
If you are fearful, you are not alone. It’s estimated that approximately 30 to 40 million Americans avoid seeing the dentist because of anxiety or dental phobia. They often even avoid their dental checkups and cleanings. This lack of dental care can seriously affect both their dental and physical health.
