Sedation dentistry allows you to be sedated enough to be pain free and oblivious to the treatment, yet still remain conscious. For that reason it is commonly referred to as conscious sedation dentistry. Sedation during dentistry can help you if you have sensitive teeth, a bad gag reflex, you are scared of needles, or simply a general fear of the dentist.
Whatever your problem may be sedation can help you be more anxiety free during your dental treatment. Your dentist's most important goal is to make your dental visit relaxing and enjoyable. Since you are completely relaxed and pain free your sedation dentist can do several years worth of dental work in one or two visits.
With sedation your dentist will be able to restore sore gums to good health, repair a chipped tooth or teeth, replace dental crowns or dentures, whiten stained or discolored teeth, and more. All this dental work can be done free of pain.
