We provide dental sedation in Calgary, AB, to help patients relax before a dental appointment or while receiving treatment. There is a variety of sedation options to choose from, depending on your level of fear and anxiety. Sedation may be helpful if you experience:
- Jaw or facial soreness.
- Sensitivity to pain or discomfort.
- Difficulty sitting still for an extended period of time.
- A strong gag reflex.
- Anxiety with the sounds and smells associated with dental treatments.
Types of Dental Sedation
A stronger sedative effect is provided by oral sedation. You will take a pill before your appointment or treatment. You will still be fully conscious while experiencing deeper sedation and relaxation than you would from nitrous oxide. Oral sedation’s effects will also last longer than the effects of laughing gas.
Intravenous (IV) sedation offers the deepest level of sedation. IV sedation puts you to sleep while receiving dental treatment. It is appropriate for extreme dental anxiety and long, intense dental treatment.
Three Takeaways About Dental Sedation
- Your dentist will thoroughly review your medical history, medication, and anxiety before recommending a type of sedation.
- If you are planning to undergo sedation, please arrange to be dropped off and picked up.
- Ensure you get lots of rest after receiving dental sedation.
