Sedation Dentistry Aventura

Sedation dentistry is a technique used to help patients relax during dental procedures. It involves the use of medications that reduce anxiety, making treatments more comfortable and stress-free. There are different levels of sedation, including mild sedation (e.g., nitrous oxide or laughing gas), moderate sedation (oral sedatives), and deep sedation (intravenous sedation).

Yes, sedation dentistry is generally safe when performed by a trained dental professional. At Sher Dental, our team will thoroughly assess your medical history and current health before recommending the appropriate sedation method. We ensure that you are closely monitored throughout the procedure to ensure your safety and comfort.

Sedation dentistry helps patients with dental anxiety by calming the nervous system. Whether you are afraid of needles, the dental procedure, or just the thought of being in the dentist’s chair, sedation can help you feel more relaxed and less aware of the treatment, making your dental visit much more comfortable.

The duration of sedation depends on the type used. For example, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) wears off within minutes after the procedure, allowing you to resume normal activities right away. Oral sedatives or IV sedation may take several hours to fully wear off, so you will need someone to drive you home after your appointment.

Sedation dentistry is ideal for patients who experience dental anxiety, have sensitive teeth, require extensive dental work, or have a strong gag reflex. It is also helpful for those with certain medical conditions or disabilities that make it difficult to sit still for long periods. Our team at Sher Dental will evaluate your needs and ensure that sedation dentistry is right for you.
