San Ramon Cosmetic Dentistry Blog | Sean Michael Anderson, D.D.S.

Some of Dr. Anderson's Pleasanton patients experience feelings of nervousness and anxiety when visiting his comfortable dental office. These patients have a fear of cosmetic dentistry and general dentistry treatments. They know they need to visit Dr. Anderson to maintain a healthy, beautiful smile, but they are unable to do so because of these intense feelings of anxiety and fear.

Sedation Dentist Dr. Anderson provides a safe solution to help these patients relax while getting the dental treatments they need. Sedation dentistry uses an oral sedative that is like a sleeping pill. The patient takes one sleeping pill before coming to the dental office and then another sleeping pill after arriving and being seated in a cozy dental chair.

Sedation Dentistry Benefits

Some patients feel a heightened level of anxiety when they only think about entering a dental office. The sleeping pill taken before coming into the dental office will help lessen the feelings of anxiety allowing patients to feel safe when they enter the office. Some patients require a second pill if their anxiety level is still high.

Patients feel relaxed and calm when they wake up following their dental treatments. They do not remember having the treatments or feel any anxiety. Their smiles are healthier because they were able to have the dental treatments they need to maintain their healthy, beautiful smiles.
