What is sedation dentistry? Sedation dentistry is basically when we have a high dental anxiety, we may have had a very bad dental experience. We may have a traumatic experience, and I understand that because I get a lot of patients with a past traumatic dental experience and I would like to change that for you here. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry. We have three different types of sedation here at my dental and implants. One is oral sedation, which basically you will be very relaxed and sleepy during your appointment with a simple pill, and that’s called oral sedation. We also offer nitrous as part of oral sedation, which is the laughing gas, which makes you comfortable for the appointment. And then the second type of sedation is moderate sedation, whereas your conscious, your breathing on your own and you are still communicating with us, but when you come back, you basically really don’t remember the appointment.

So that’s called moderate sedation. In the first oral sedation and moderate sedation, the commonalities that you’re still conscious, you’re talking back with us, you’re communicating with us, but you may not really remember the appointment when you come back for your visit, so that’s why it makes you very comfortable. The third type of sedation is general sedation, whereas your unconscious, so you are completely put to sleep. You have an anesthesiologist who comes in and we have great providers here at my health implants that can create that environment for you to be comfortably do your procedure and take care of your teeth with general sedation, you’ll be completely put to sleep, you’ll be intubated, so it’s very safe. We’re basically helping you with breeding and as long as it’s needed, the procedure is done. You have our nurse, anesthesiologist, and then your recovery is going to be much faster as well, so you’re not going to remember anything.
