Feel At Ease Throughout Your Visits With Oral Sedation

If you have anxiety surrounding visiting the dentist or dental procedures, it may be keeping you from having that smile examined. Rest assured, oral dentistry in Etobicoke, ON, can help alleviate that stress so you can sit back and relax while chairside and allow our dentist to conduct your procedure without interruption!

What Is Oral Sedation?

Oral sedation is designed to improve patient relaxation and relieve dental worries. It is particularly helpful for patients with dental fear or anxiety. A medication that reduces mild to moderate levels of worry, this form of sedation is commonly administered in pill form or intravenously. Inducing a tranquil-like state, the oral sedative can make you feel at ease. However, you can still communicate with our dentist without issue.

Our dentist will give you a prescription for the oral sedative before your appointment. You will take it at home before your procedure. The medication is designed to last throughout the duration of your treatment.

Who Is A Candidate For This Treatment?

North Queen Dental uses oral sedation for patients who feel anxiety during treatments as well as to help:

• Patients With Dental Phobias: If you struggle with a significant fear of the dentist and it cannot be subdued, oral sedation can help calm those worries.
• Complex Procedures: When treatment is more extensive and time-consuming, oral sedatives may induce a calm state of mind, so your focus isn’t on the dentist or the service.
• Individuals With Chronic Dental Issues: Patients who are so afraid of the dentist often delay receiving any treatment. This can worsen chronic dental troubles, such as gum disease and tooth decay.
• Significant Gag Reflex Or Sensitive Teeth: If you have sensitive teeth or a prominent gag reflex that can make it difficult for the dentist to proceed with the service effectively, this sedation may be able to help.

Advantages Of Choosing Oral Sedation

In addition to providing anxiety relief, oral sedation offers several benefits, including:

• Versatility: This form of sedation is not restricted to use for just one or two types of treatment. It’s suitable for various procedures to help you feel at ease. Multiple services can even be completed in fewer visits.
• Increased Cooperation: You’ll find yourself feeling agreeable, calm, and worry-free to allow our dentist to complete treatment.
• Simple Usage: The sedative is given to you orally in a single pill or intravenously, which eliminates the use of needles.
