What is Dental Sedation?
Dental sedation refers to a variety of techniques used to make patients more comfortable during dental procedures. Our dentists can help determine if a dental sedation option is right for you.
At Shelburne Smile Centre, we do everything we can to help patients feel relaxed and comfortable during their dental appointments. In addition to offering sedation options, we will work at your pace, take breaks when you need them, and provide calm reassurance as needed.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedatives are pills or liquids prescribed by your dentist. The medication is taken by mouth at our office before your dental appointment. It leaves you awake for the procedure but produces a calming effect to relax you.
General Anesthesia
General anesthesia is a controlled state of unconsciousness that eliminates awareness, movement and discomfort during dental treatment. Complex treatments can often be completed in one appointment while you are asleep.
