Sedation dentistry aids in oral care such as affordable dentures in Indianapolis

There are several facets to excellent dental care, and we recognize them when treating each of our patients. In the past several years, a great deal of priority has been placed on patient comfort. Though dental treatments have long been performed after a patient has been numbed with local anesthetic, many people who visit the dentist still suffer the emotional anxiety of dental treatments. At Washington Street dentistry, our commitment to total patient comfort addresses dental anxiety with sedation dentistry services. Sedation can be incorporated into a variety of oral care treatments, ranging from fillings to affordable dentures. If you live in the Indianapolis area and want to work with a dental team who places priority on your emotional wellbeing, we invite you to contact us and schedule a consultation in which you can discuss sedation as a part of your oral care plan.

Sedation has been a common inclusion for medical treatments for decades. In the area of dentistry, however, patients’ needs were largely overlooked. The development of sedation dentistry has changed the way care is provided in the best possible way. Now, patients who have avoided receiving the care they need to enjoy a healthy, attractive smile can visit their dentist confidently, without stress.

There are several types of sedation offered in dentistry, such as nitrous oxide and oral sedation. In some cases, IV sedation is most effective. For instance, IV sedation is commonly used to produce a light sleep-like state in patients undergoing tooth extraction. Though each type of dental sedation may produce a different level of relaxation, each type shares the common trait of diminishing the stress response of the patient.

Sedation medications, whether inhaled, ingested, or delivered right to the bloodstream, are designed to reach the central nervous system, where the effect is suppressive in nature. To suppress the nervous system means to achieve a much greater level of peace and relaxation by decreasing responsiveness to external stimuli.

When sedated, dental patients can literally sit back and relax, regardless of their extent of anxiety in past dental visits. We treat each patient on an individual basis, tailoring sedation services around their unique needs. Some people find immense benefit in a low dose of nitrous or oral conscious sedation, where others may need to achieve a light sleep state in order to receive the care they need to maintain oral health. 

Your smile, as well as your sense of comfort, is important to the Washington Street Dentistry team. Contact us to learn more about sedation dental services.
