If you are one of the many people who experience anxiety or fear when it comes to visiting the dentist, sedation dentistry may be the solution for you. Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. At our clinic centre in Eugene, we offer sedation dentistry to our patients in Veneta and the surrounding areas.
There are different levels of sedation that can be used depending on the patient's needs. The mildest form of sedation is nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas. Nitrous oxide is administered through a mask and helps patients feel calm and relaxed. It wears off quickly, so patients can drive themselves home after the procedure.
Oral sedation is another option, which involves taking a pill before the procedure. The medication helps patients feel drowsy and relaxed, but they are still conscious and able to respond to the dentist's instructions.
For patients who require a deeper level of sedation, intravenous (IV) sedation may be recommended. This type of sedation is administered through a vein and puts patients in a state of deep relaxation. They may not remember the procedure afterward and will need someone to drive them home.
Sedation dentistry can be beneficial for patients who have a low pain threshold, sensitive teeth, a strong gag reflex, or a fear of needles or the dentist's office in general. It can also help patients with special needs or those who require extensive dental work to remain comfortable throughout the procedure.
At our clinic centre in Eugene, our team is experienced in administering sedation dentistry safely and effectively. We take the time to discuss each patient's needs and concerns and determine the best form of sedation for their individual situation.
