If you experience dental anxiety, have had negative experiences in the past or feel nervous about dental procedures, our caring dentist may recommend sedation dentistry to help you feel at ease. Sedation dentistry is also beneficial for patients who have difficulty getting numb or have a sensitive gag reflex. Our goal is to ensure your comfort while you receive the dental care you need.
Sedation dentistry involves using sedative medications to help you relax and feel comfortable during your visit. Several types of sedation are available, ranging from mild sedation that simply helps you feel relaxed to deeper sedation that allows you to sleep through your treatment. Before recommending sedation, Dr. Hunter Johnson will meet with you to discuss your options and to review your oral health needs, medical history and your comfort level in the dental office. This comprehensive consultation will help determine which type of sedation is best suited for you.
During your visit, regardless of the type of sedation used, our dentist and team will closely monitor you to ensure your safety and comfort. We will also provide you with detailed instructions on how to prepare for your sedation appointment and what to do afterward. For instance, some forms of sedation require you to have someone drive you to and from your appointment due to the lingering effects of the medication.
