Sedation Dentistry For Patients In the Greater Albany, NY Region
Sedation dentistry was first developed to help patients suffering from dental anxiety or dental fear. That’s why our dental office is offering it as an option to qualified candidates.
Is Sedation Dentistry Right For You?
Consider the following questions:
- Do you put off or forego necessary dental care because you’re afraid of going to the dentist?
- Do you have a hard time sleeping in the nights leading up to your appointment?
- Once you’re in the dental office, does your heart begin to race or do you experience nausea?
If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, you may be suffering from dental phobia (dental fear) or dental anxiety. Patients who suffer from dental anxiety are often excellent candidates from sedation dentistry. Sedation dentistry allows you to relax and stay calm throughout your appointment, keeping racing thoughts and bothersome physical symptoms at bay.
Types of Sedation Available
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation is a mild form of sedation that can help keep you calm and relaxed during your dental visit. However, if you opt for this type of sedation, you’ll need to be driven to and from our office.
Nitrous Oxide
Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide gets to work quickly and wears off quickly, making you relaxed during your procedure. You’ll be able to drive yourself to and from your appointment.
