The Benefits Of Sedation Dentistry
Reduced Anxiety
Sedation dentistry can significantly reduce dental anxiety, making your visit to the dentist a more comfortable and less stressful experience. It can help you overcome the fear associated with dental procedures, allowing you to maintain regular dental visits and good oral health.
Pain-Free Experience
One of the major advantages of sedation dentistry is that it provides a virtually pain-free experience. The medication used during sedation dentistry numbs the area being worked on, eliminating discomfort. This means no more fear of pain during your dental procedures.
Efficient Treatment
Sedation dentistry can allow Dr. Roo to perform more complex procedures in fewer appointments. Since you're relaxed and comfortable, he can work more efficiently, potentially reducing the number of visits required for your treatment.
The Sedation Dentistry Treatment Process
Consultation
During your initial consultation, Dr. Roo will discuss your medical history, your dental needs, and your anxiety level. This information will help him determine the most appropriate type of sedation for your specific situation.
Preparation
On the day of your procedure, you'll be given specific instructions depending on the type of sedation you'll be receiving. This may include fasting or arranging for someone to drive you home after the procedure.
Sedation and Treatment
Once you're comfortably sedated, Dr. Roo will perform the dental procedure. You'll be monitored continuously to ensure your safety and comfort throughout the entire process.
