Your dentist in Huntsville, AL, always provides powerful anesthesia when performing invasive dental procedures. And our team works to ensure your comfort. We also use a gentle hand. However, we understand that some patients need extra reassurance, which is why we offer sedation dentistry.
There are several benefits to sedation dentistry; let’s explore a few.
#1 Time in the Dental Chair Seems to Go Faster
If you’re going to be in the dental chair for a while, it’s best to feel relaxed. Sedation dentistry takes the edge off, leaving you with a dreamlike feeling—detached from the treatment at hand. Also, time seems to go by faster when you’re under sedation.
#2 Your Gag Reflex Is More Relaxed
Sometimes dental work elicits a gag reflex. But when you’re under sedation, this reflex is more relaxed, allowing your dentist to work faster and surer.
#3 You Feel More at Ease
Some patients have dental phobias. Others are merely nervous when visiting the dentist. Sedation dentistry can make a difference, giving you a relaxing experience in the dental chair.
About Sedation Dentistry in Huntsville, AL
We deliver nitrous oxide, sometimes called laughing gas, through a nasal mask. While wearing the mask, you feel the effects of sedation. You feel detached, relaxed, and unconcerned. Meanwhile, your dentist sees to your oral health.
When we remove the mask, there are no lingering side effects. You can drive yourself to work or home!
Nitrous oxide is safe for most patients, including children. But your dentist or a member of our dental team may take a health history to be sure. We never want anxiety to stand in the way of your dentistry.
