Conquer Your Dental Fears with Sedation Dentistry

What is sedation dentistry?

Most of patients have dental anxiety and are afraid of going to the dentist. Sadly, many patients put off going to the dentist until they are in pain that requires prompt attention. At Chtaura Specialised Dental Centre, we understand these fears, that is why we specialize in sedation dentistry. Our Pedodontist, Dr. Sandra Maalouf will administer medications via oral sedation to help you relax during your dental treatment, depending on the level of dental fear. Sedation dentistry is used to perform everything from a simple filling to a complex smile make-over. Sedation dentistry allows us to perform more dental work in a single setting for the most anxious patient.

Sedation Dentistry Options

We offer two types of sedation:

Oral Sedation â€“ A sedative given by pill. This pill allows patients to have mild relaxation during their appointment without being completely sedated. We often have patients fall asleep will pill sedation during treatment due to their deep level of relaxation. This type of sedation dentistry is for the mildly apprehensive patient.

Nitrous Oxide â€“ Often known as laughing gas, this most common form of sedation dentistry and is delivered via a nasal mask. Nitrous oxide is often used in cleanings, fillings and extractions. After just a few minutes after treatment, most patients are OK to drive home.
