3 Reasons to Consider Sedation Dentistry

It’s no secret that undergoing a dental procedure can be a bit anxiety inducing. Luckily, with modern dentistry, we have modern solutions: sedation. Sedation is a commonly offered option to patients who undergo a lot of stress and fear when it comes to dental work.  At Dr. Baik’s dental office, we offer two sedation options, moderate sedation (formerly known as conscious sedation) and nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas. Let’s talk about the benefits of choosing sedation for your dental procedure:

Reduces gag reflex:

Some patients experience a gag reflex so strong that even dental tools near their mouth can trigger a reflex. Sedation can help calm the patient enough to eliminate a reflex and allow the procedure to be done without any interruptions.

Helps time pass by quicker:

Even the mildest sedative can be very calming during a dental procedure. When your mind and body is calm and at ease, your dental appointment will be done before you know it.

Reduces Anxiety:

Sedation is a good option to put your body and mind into a calm state, so calm that your anxiety is eliminated and you feel relaxed throughout your entire procedure.

If you feel that sedation is a good option for you, call our office to schedule a consultation and Dr. Baik can go over your options with you.
