sedation dentistry
Calm dental procedures
Sedation dentistry is dental care performed while the patient is under sedation—ranging from mild relaxation with nitrous oxide to full unconsciousness with general anesthesia.
The practice helps patients with dental anxiety, sensitive gag reflexes, or those undergoing lengthy procedures: I finally got my wisdom teeth out thanks to sedation dentistry.
