For some people, dentistry creates stress and anxiety. Other people may feel uneasy only when having multiple treatments or an invasive procedure. No matter the reasons, we’re pleased to offer dental sedation in Mitchell, SD.
Before approving you for sedation, the dentist will evaluate your health, including recent medical diagnoses and current medications. We want to ensure that sedation dentistry is safe for you.
If you are a candidate for oral sedation, we want you to know what to expect and how it alleviates fear and anxiety.
About Oral Sedation in the Dental Office
Oral sedation is a small pill prescribed by your Mitchell dentist. You take it on treatment day to feel relaxed in the dental chair. It is a powerful medication, so you must not drive on treatment day, make any crucial decisions, or sign documents. We recommend resting until the following day.
With oral sedation, you may not recall much of your dental treatment, but you will remember the feelings of relaxation and comfort.
Other sedation dentistry options include nitrous oxide, a safe gas administered through a nose mask. With Nitrous, you’ll feel tranquil and detached.
Your dentist may combine these options for ultimate comfort.
