Thanks to sedation dentistry, there's no need to fear dental treatment. Dr. Alexander Pritsky, Dr. Ravneet Nijjar and Dr. Emil Tanase, your sedation dentistryStockton, CA dentists at Brookside Dental Care, share information about sedation dentistry options.

Why sedation can be a good option

Dental phobias can prevent you from getting the care you need. When you don't receive prompt treatment for dental issues, small problems that can be easily treated can soon turn into major oral health issues that require more extensive procedures.

Thanks to sedation dentistry, you won't feel nervous or apprehensive during your visit, plus pain won't be a problem. The sights, sounds and smells of a dental office can be a little frightening if you suffer from dental phobia. When you choose sedation, the entire appointment will be stress-free from the moment you walk through the door to the moment you leave.

Sedation dentistry can also help make future visits more pleasant. After a positive visit, you'll be more likely to keep your next appointment. When you're more comfortable, you may find that you can tolerate longer appointments and won't need to break treatments into several sessions.

Sedation options in Stockton

Your dentist can offer you several sedation options, including:

  • Oral Sedatives: Oral sedatives are pills that can help improve relaxation and decrease anxiety. Because the effects of the sedatives can last for a few hours, you'll need someone to drive you to and from your appointment. Sedatives are generally taken about an hour before your appointment, although your dentist will advise you when to take your pill.
  • Inhalation Conscious Sedation: When you choose the inhaled form of sedation, also called laughing gas, you'll not only feel calm but also won't experience any pain. You can drive to and from your appointment if you choose this option.
  • Intravenous Conscious Sedation: Although you'll be awake with intravenous conscious sedation, you won't remember much about your appointment. The sedation medication is placed in an intravenous (IV) line in your arm and quickly helps you feel much more relaxed. Someone must drive you home if you have intravenous conscious sedation.
