SEDATION DENTISTRY

Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures.

The following types of sedation are used in our office:

Regardless of which type of sedation you receive, you’ll also typically need a local anesthetic — numbing medication at the site where the dentist is working in the mouth — to relieve pain if the procedure causes any discomfort.

IS Sedation recommended for you?

Sedation is most appropriate for people with a real fear or anxiety that is preventing them from going to the dentist.

Sedation dentistry may also be appropriate for people who:

  • have a low pain threshold
  • have very sensitive teeth
  • have a bad gag reflex
  • need a large amount of dental work completed

There is always a risk in getting anesthesia. It’s important to make sure that your dentist is trained and qualified to administer the type of sedation you will be receiving. To be a smart patient, you should make sure the following things are done:

I was terrified walking in for a gum graft. Dr. Bergen’s and his staff quickly made me feel safe. The procedure was done on time, professionally and with care. Dr. Bergen actually called me the night of the procedure to make sure I was ok.
