Sedation Dentistry

Many people become uneasy at the thought of visiting the dentist’s office. The sight and sound of the drills and other dental devices may provoke feelings of anxiety and distress. However, by staying away from the dentist and avoiding treatment, these people inevitably develop dental problems that are exacerbated by the lack of professional care. In the end, patients will require more extensive treatment than if they had maintained regular dental care.

We want to help you ensure you have a healthy smile. We understand the anxieties surrounding dental appointments. Attending regular appointments and taking care of your oral health is essential. This is because you’re reducing the risk of further health issues that can develop as a result of poor oral care.

What Are The Benefits Of Sedation Dentistry?

Many people use sedation to help them to attend their appointments and procedures. This is a safe and effective way to enable you to keep on top of your health. Sedation often makes appointments more efficient because the patient is relaxed and comfortable. This means the dentist can work without the patient needing to take a break.

At our office, we use oral medications to ensure that our patients with dental anxiety are calm and comfortable throughout their entire appointment. At our practice serving Danforth, Riverdale, and other areas of Toronto, when porcelain dental crowns, dental bridges, or other procedures are provided to those with dental anxiety, sedation dentistry enables many individuals to receive the care they need without the worry or discomfort they usually associate with the dentist.

Sedation dentistry can also support those with special needs. Those who have sensory impairments can find it very difficult in these environments. By using sedation we can help significantly reduce distress during their appointment.

How Does Sedation Dentistry Work?

Many people use sedation to enable them to attend their appointments and procedures. This is a safe and effective way to enable you to keep on top of your health. Sedation often makes appointments more efficient because the patient is relaxed and comfortable. This means the dentist can work without the patient needing to take a break. As a result, there will be no need for so many dental appointments.

Sedation dentistry medication usually takes effect about an hour after being ingested. Patients enter into a deep state of relaxation, during which time they can safely undergo dental treatment without fear or stress. We recommend that patients who receive sedation dentistry have someone with them to drive them home after their treatment is complete.
