RELAX...You're in
great hands!
Nearly 50% of the population
feels nervous or uncomfortable about going to the dentist or having dental
procedures done.
Dr. Emily Graham understands the importance of helping patients feel relaxed
and comfortable during dental procedures.
We offer both IV Sedation
and Oral Conscious Sedation. If you feel that sedation is necessary for your
dental care, give us a call to learn more about our sedation dentistry.
With oral conscious sedation, simply take a pill one hour before your
appointment and you can relax or sleep through your visit.
-
With oral sedation we
can often complete all your dentistry in one visit.
-
Oral sedation is very
safe.
-
The pills stay in a patient’s
system for several hours after the appointment, so there are few complaints
of pain after procedures are completed.
How You May Feel
Most patients remember nothing about their treatment. A few will remember
a little, usually at the end of the appointment when we are getting them ready
to go home. You will need someone to bring you to our office on the day of
your sedation appointment and you MUST have someone take you home afterwards.
Safety of Sedation
The reason that we use oral sedation is because of its safety. We use monitoring
equipment to monitor your pulse and blood pressure. You’ll be done before
you know it, completely unaware of the time passing, totally relaxed.
