Sedation Dentistry in Gravelbourg
Sedation Dentistry
For many people, going to the dentist is an anxious and stressful experience. It might be due to existing anxiety or a past poor experience with a dentist. If this is something that has kept you from visiting the dentist for regular oral health care, speak with our team about your options. There are many different ways we can help relieve anxiety and give you a smooth experience, and one of those options is through sedation dentistry, which uses medication to relax you.
Oral Sedation
Our dentists will be happy to provide you with all the information you need to decide if you’d like to try oral sedation for a dental appointment. Oral sedation is provided via an oral pill that can be taken prior to your appointment. We’ll prescribe you a pill in advance, which you can pick up from the local pharmacy. Our team will give you specific instructions about when to take the pill (usually before you arrive for your appointment, as it takes some time to take effect). At your appointment, you’ll be fully conscious but will feel relaxed and possibly a little sleepy. After your appointment, it may be difficult to remember your procedure. It can take some time for the sedative to wear off, so you’ll likely need to organize a ride to and from your appointment.
