Sedation Dentistry Explained: Safe, Comfortable, and Totally Worth It
Feel nervous about going to the dentist? You’re not alone — and you have options.
Why Patients Choose Sedation Dentistry
For many people, the idea of a dental appointment triggers anxiety — from fear of discomfort to past traumatic experiences. Sedation dentistry offers a safe, effective way to stay relaxed and comfortable throughout your treatment.
At Lansdowne Dental Care, we believe that fear should never stand in the way of a healthy smile.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
We offer several types of sedation depending on your needs, including:
- Oral Sedation: A pill that helps you feel calm before and during your procedure.
- Nitrous Oxide: Also known as laughing gas, it helps take the edge off and wears off quickly.
- IV Sedation: For deeper relaxation during more involved treatments, under careful monitoring.
Who Can Benefit?
While anyone can opt for sedation, it’s especially helpful for:
- People with dental anxiety or phobia
- Patients needing longer or complex treatments
- Those with a sensitive gag reflex
- People who’ve had traumatic dental experiences in the past
