Sedation Dentistry
At Conklin Family Dental, we understand that dental anxiety and fear can keep patients from getting the care they need. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry—a safe, effective way to help you feel relaxed and at ease during your visit. Our goal is to make your experience as comfortable as possible, so you can receive the dental care you deserve without worry.
What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax throughout their dental treatment. Ranging from mild relaxation to deeper sedation, our options are tailored to meet your comfort level and the complexity of your procedure. We offer several types of sedation, including:
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A mild sedative inhaled through a mask, nitrous oxide helps you feel calm and comfortable. It’s quickly reversible, allowing you to resume your day shortly after your appointment.
- IV Sedation and General Anesthesia: For patients who need a higher level of sedation, we offer IV sedation and, for some cases, general anesthesia in a hospital setting. These options are often recommended for complex treatments or for patients with severe anxiety.
Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is ideal for patients who experience:
- Dental anxiety or fear
- A strong gag reflex
- Difficulty sitting still for long periods
- Sensitivity to dental instruments or procedures
- The need for extensive dental work in a single visit
