Painless Dental Numbing
Sedation dentistry doesn’t work on the surface level (think Novocain) and it isn’t injected into your gums with a syringe. It numbs the pain receptors in your entire body and is administered most often as a gas. You might feel a light pressure during the procedure, but you won’t feel any sharp pain in your mouth. It is possible to minimize unpleasant visits to the dentist with professional sedation techniques.
Conscious, Responsive, And Completely Relaxed
You are fully awake and responsive while you’re sedated during the dental procedure. You have full control over your body and your mind, but it is much easier to sit back and relax. This is good for both you and your dentist. If your dentist needs to get at a better angle on a tooth, they can simply ask you to move your head or adjust your position on your own. Some dental sedation patients even fall asleep during their treatment which helps ease dental anxiety.
Sedation can make you a bit loopy and lower your speech inhibitions. Don’t worry, you won’t start spilling any of your personal or state secrets! You will feel very relaxed and probably won’t experience as much anxiety when talking with the face behind the mask.
