Sedation dentistry in Cookeville, TN, is an excellent option for patients who are undergoing multiple treatments and lengthy procedures, have a strong gag reflex, or feel anxious in the dental chair.
I understand dental anxiety and want my patients to feel relaxed when under my care. For this reason, I’m pleased to offer sedation dentistry.
About Oral Sedation Dentistry
Oral sedation dentistry involves taking a pill before dental treatment. I customize the dose to meet your specific needs and sedation goals. Sedation can range from mild relaxation to not remembering your dental procedure.
With sedation dentistry, I recommend you not drive, operate machinery, or make any critical decisions on the day of treatment. You’ll need a friend or loved one to transport you.
How Does the Sedation Dentistry Process Work at Hall Dental Group?
The sedation dentistry process is simple.
- An assessment, including medical history and a list of current medications
- A conversation about your level of anxiety or desired level of sedation
- I provide a prescription for the pill you take shortly before treatment
- My team and I will monitor you closely throughout your visit
- A friend or loved one transports you home from your procedure, and you spend the day resting
Sedation Dentistry Safety
Taking a medical history and collecting a list of current medications helps me determine your candidacy for sedation dentistry, including whether it is a safe option. Additionally, my team monitors you constantly throughout your procedure.
Besides dental sedation, we can use powerful local anesthesia to numb the treatment site so you don’t feel discomfort.
