Sedation Dentistry Information |
|
An estimated 10 percent or more of Americans avoid getting dental care because of their fear of dental procedures, and many other individuals have physical or mental problems related to dental care that can be resolved with the use of sedation. Thousands of patients have been successfully treated while under safe and effective sedation, without pain or anxiety. Oral medications, nitrous oxide, intravenous drugs, and general anesthesia can all be used for sedation dentistry.

Sedation Dentistry Education |
People who feel anxiety or fear regarding dental procedures, individuals whose uncontrolled movements might hinder their dental care (including children), and people with a mental or physical disability that interferes with their care may be appropriate candidates for sedation dentistry. In addition, being in good health is a primary requirement for sedation dentistry.

When you feel that a sedation dentist is the professional you need, look for a dentist who has training in sedation and is experienced in all forms of sedation dentistry, or has a partnership with a board-certified anesthesiologist for general anesthesia sedation. Pediatric sedation is a special area that merits extra training.
