The safest type of sedation dentistry is oral sedation dentistry. Dublin Sedation Dentist Dr. Anderson uses oral sedation dentistry to help his patients relax during their dental visits. Many patients feel anxiety or a heightened level of nervousness while visiting the dentist. These feelings prevent them from even stepping foot in a dental office let alone getting the dental treatments they need for a healthy mouth and body.

Sedation dentistry offers many benefits to patients including:

• Helping them feel safe and relaxed during their visit
• Letting them get the cosmetic dentistry and general dentistry treatments they need
• Giving them the ability to maintain a healthy, beautiful smile

Oral Sedation Dentistry

If you elect to have oral sedation dentistry, Dr. Anderson will prescribe a sleeping pill that you will take an hour before coming into the office. Please make sure you have someone to drive you to and from our comfortable dental office. You will not be able to drive yourself once you take the medication. Taking the medication before coming into our dental office will help you stay calm and relaxed during your entire visit.

You will be given another sleeping pill when you arrive at our dental office. A member of our caring dental staff will help you get seated in a dental chair and become comfortable. This staff member will monitor you during your visit as you sleep.

Oral sedation dentistry is the safest type of sedation dentistry because it helps you continue a safe level of consciousness without making you entirely aware of your surroundings. After your visit, you will be relaxed and not remember any of the procedures you had done. Your smile will be healthier and happier.
