Is Sedation Right for You?
Sedation dentistry isn’t only for big procedures. It’s a good fit for anyone whose heart races at the thought of a dental visit, and for people with a strong gag reflex, very sensitive teeth or a low pain threshold. It can also help if you need a lot of work done at once, or if fear has kept you out of the dental chair for years.
Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety usually lets small problems grow into bigger ones. At our West University Place office, we focus on making treatment feel manageable rather than stressful, so you can finally get the care you’ve been putting off. Book your $89 consultation to talk through your options.
Why Patients Ask for Sedation
Everyone’s reasons are different, but these are the situations where we most often suggest sedation:
- Fear or anxiety about dental visits
- Teeth that are very sensitive, or a low tolerance for pain
- A gag reflex that makes treatment difficult
- Long or involved procedures
- Wisdom tooth removal
- Several fillings or restorations in one appointment
- Numbing that doesn’t work well with local anesthesia alone
- Special needs or difficulty staying still for long periods
