The start of a new year is the perfect opportunity to set meaningful health goals, and if dental anxiety has been preventing you from seeking care, sedation dentistry might be the solution. At Blaisdell Family Dentistry, we offer various sedation options to make your dental visits comfortable, stress-free, and anxiety-free in 2025.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry, or “pain-free dentistry,” uses medications to help patients relax and complete dental treatments comfortably. At Blaisdell Family Dentistry, we focus on personalized care, ensuring each visit is as stress-free as possible. If dental anxiety has kept you from seeking care, sedation dentistry can be a game-changer, allowing you to prioritize your dental health.
Who Is a Candidate for Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is ideal for those who experience severe dental anxiety, fear of needles, traumatic dental experiences, low pain tolerance, or heightened sensitivity. It’s also helpful for those who struggle to sit still for long periods. If you’ve been avoiding dental appointments due to these factors, sedation dentistry could be the answer to overcoming your fears and getting the care you need.
Sedation Dentistry Techniques We Offer
We offer several sedation techniques to meet your needs. Laughing gas (nitrous oxide) is a common and mild option that helps you relax while staying fully conscious during treatment. Oral conscious sedation involves taking a pill before your appointment to achieve deeper relaxation, with little to no memory of the procedure. For more complex treatments, general anesthesia may be used, putting you to sleep during the procedure, so you experience no discomfort or awareness.
The Benefits of Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry reduces anxiety and ensures pain-free procedures, making dental visits manageable for even the most nervous patients. It also helps control an overactive gag reflex, making procedures smoother. Sedation can increase time efficiency, allowing for longer treatments to be completed in fewer appointments. Additionally, some forms of sedation leave you with little to no memory of the procedure, which can be a huge relief for those with dental phobias.
