Sedation options range from general sedation, to IV sedation, oral conscious sedation, nitrous oxide, and a variety of other modalities that are less commonly used. Sedation is often used in dentistry to help nervous patient’s complete procedures in a relaxed state without anxiety. It can also make dentistry easier to perform because patients are much less likely to move at an awkward moment, which can make the procedure possibly more difficult
At Hereford Dental Clinic we use Dental Sedation which helps to relax the patient. Most patients snooze through the appointment, feel no discomfort, and have no memory of the procedures.
Many of these fearful patients begin chewing without pain and smiling with confidence for the first time in years. These benefits are often life-changing for people who have delayed getting their mouths healthy or enhancing their smiles. Sedation dentistry is even beneficial for patients who aren’t fearful, but would like to be more comfortable during lengthy dental procedures.
