Understanding Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry at Summit Dental Akron offers a way to provide a relaxing and anxiety-free experience for those undergoing dental procedures. This specialized approach uses medication to help patients relax during dental treatments, ranging from simple teeth cleanings to more invasive procedures. Depending on the level of anxiety and the type of treatment, different levels of sedation—ranging from mild sedatives to deeper, more relaxing options—can be administered.
Who Needs Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is ideal for patients who experience dental anxiety or phobia, which can often prevent them from visiting the dentist regularly. It is also beneficial for individuals who have a low pain threshold, those who need a large amount of dental work completed, and patients who have difficulty sitting still, such as young children or individuals with certain health conditions. At Summit Dental Akron, we evaluate each patient’s needs to recommend the most appropriate sedation method.
Benefits of Sedation Dentistry
Anxiety Reduction:
Sedation dentistry helps alleviate fear and anxiety, making it possible for patients to undergo necessary treatments without distress.
Comfort and Relaxation:
Patients often feel more comfortable and relaxed, which allows for a smoother and quicker procedure.
Efficiency:
Our Akron dentists can work more efficiently when patients are calm and still, often allowing for multiple procedures to be done in fewer visits.
Minimal Memory of Procedure:
Most patients have little to no memory of the details of the dental procedure, which is particularly beneficial for those with dental anxiety.
