The modern dentists today use sedation dentistry to help individuals in overcoming the fear that they have regarding dentists. Some patients may experience dental fear or anxiety which could prevent them from receiving the best dental treatment and care for their teeth. The dentists use certain sedative drugs which can be in the form of nitrous oxide, pills, or gas so as to make the patient feel relaxed. The dental procedure will then be a comfortable procedure even for those patients who are extremely fearful.
The simplicity and easiness of the administration of this sedative are considered as one of the biggest advantages of sedation for a dental patient. The following are the reasons why sedation is used in CKFarr;
a. It is effective. Oral sedation effectively provides adequate comfort and relaxation levels to the patient who might have moderate or mild anxiety.
b. It can be easily administered to a patient. Sedation could be administered to an individual by just taking a pill.
c. Safety. A dentist can operate safely on a patient who has had sedation. The patients too can normally react after sedation has been administered to them.
We are committed to providing gentle dentistry in a calm, supportive environment. When needed, we offer oral sedation to help reduce anxiety and make treatment more comfortable.
Our practice carefully limits the use of oral medication and selects options with the lowest potential for negative side effects. These anti-anxiety medications may produce a temporary, mild amnesic effect while active, which many patients find helpful in easing stress and reducing memory of the procedure.
Our goal is always to prioritize safety, comfort, and a positive experience, using sedation only when clinically appropriate and thoughtfully tailored to each patient's needs.
