Description:

Fear is a common reason people have to not go to the dentist, whether they will admit it or not. But we no longer need to fear a visit to the dentist! Medical advancement over the decades has made most dental visits completely pain free, and some procedures like cleanings and sealants are pain free to begin with. Conservative dentistry does not cause pain; in fact, it can usually prevent it.

But, if the stress gets to be too much for you, no matter what you’re visiting for, sedation dentistry is a tool that can help you relax. Not every dentist in Houston can use sedation dentistry; it takes a lot of extra study and certification to be able to use sedation techniques.

Local anesthetics are great for reducing discomfort right at a surgical site, but they do little to calm your nerves. With sedation dentistry, IV or gas sedatives are used to calm the patient, relax their body, and nullify most sensation. The process can bring patients to the brink of consciousness, but the level of sedation is constantly monitored by the dental staff to ensure the patient does not go fully under. It never takes more than a gentle nudge to awaken a sedated patient.
