Dental Sedation Edmonton
Do dental visits fill you with dread? Do the sounds of drills and the anticipation of pain keep you from getting the dental care you need? You're not alone. Millions of people experience dental anxiety, often leading them to postpone or avoid essential appointments altogether. This can have serious consequences for your oral health.
At Floss & Gloss Dental, conveniently located on Edmonton's south side, we understand your concerns. That's why we offer sedation dentistry, a safe and effective way to achieve a healthy smile without the anxiety.
Sedation Dentistry (Sleep Dentistry)
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help you feel calm and relaxed during your dental procedure. This gentle approach allows you to receive the treatment you need without the stress and fear often associated with dental visits.
Benefits of Sedation Dentistry at Floss & Gloss Dental:
- Reduced Anxiety and Stress: Feel at ease throughout your appointment. Our caring staff and comfortable environment will further promote relaxation.
- Pain-Free Treatment: Local anesthetic numbs the treatment area, while sedation keeps you calm and comfortable.
- More Efficient Appointments: Reduced anxiety allows your dentist to complete more procedures in one visit, saving you time and multiple appointments.
- Suitable for a Variety of Procedures: Sedation dentistry can be used for cleanings, fillings, root canals, extractions, and even cosmetic procedures.
Types of Sedation Dentistry We Offer at our South Edmonton Office:
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A safe and effective gas that helps you feel relaxed and euphoric. The effects wear off quickly after your procedure, allowing you to drive yourself home.
- Oral Sedation: Prescription medication taken before your appointment helps you feel drowsy and reduces anxiety. You may not remember much of the procedure.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Sedation Dentistry:
- Am I a candidate for sedation dentistry? Sedation dentistry is a safe option for many people, but it's not suitable for everyone. During a consultation, we'll discuss your medical history and dental needs to determine if sedation is right for you.
- Is sedation dentistry safe? Yes, sedation dentistry is safe when administered by a qualified dentist. We use state-of-the-art monitoring equipment to ensure your safety throughout your procedure.
- Will I feel pain during my procedure? Local anesthetic will numb the treatment area, so you shouldn't feel any pain. Sedation will help you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure.
