Sedation Dentistry
If you’re anxious about dental visits, Jane Street Dental has the solution.
We are pleased to offer Sleep Dentistry at our location. For some people, a visit to the dental office is a very stressful, emotional event. If you have a hard time getting through a dental procedure because of nerves or anxiety, you can relax — Jane Street Dental offers an option that could help put you at ease.
Sedation Dentistry (also known as Sleep Dentistry) from Jane Street Dental is quickly gaining popularity. It’s when a patient receives medication to relieve their anxiety and minimize any discomfort during a dental visit.
Almost anyone — adult, teen or child — is a candidate for sedation dentistry. It’s particularly useful for people with a fear of dental visits, or people with a history of anxiety/panicking, but it’s also preferred by people who would simply rather not be “aware” during a procedure.
The sedative medication is administered orally and the patient enters a state of dreamy sleepiness. Some patients fall asleep, while others remain awake but don’t notice or care about the dental work being performed.
Patients are allowed to go home following a sedation dentistry procedure, but cannot drive for the rest of the day — and must be accompanied by a responsible adult. The medication wears off very quickly, but could leave you feeling unsteady for the first few hours.
Please contact Jane Street Dental today to learn more about sedation dentistry, and how it could make your visits more comfortable.
