Our team of specialists will discuss which level of sedation meets your needs.

Who will benefit from sedation?
Any form of sedation can be a benefit to relieve stress or anxiety associated with a dental visit.
Oral sedation dentistry can benefit a wide range of patients, including people with:

• Children with special needs
  
• A desire to have dentistry done comfortably while fully relaxed
  
• High dental anxiety or fear
  
• Severe gag reflex
  
• Time constraints
  
• Chronic or acute jaw soreness
  
• Physical limitations
  
• Difficulty getting numb
  
• Extensive treatment needs

During the entire time you are sedated you are in our dental treatment room being monitored by a hospital grade pulse oximeter unit. This unit is used to monitor and record your vital signs.
