General Anesthesia
Some people are so fearful of the dentist that they avoid dental care at all costs. These patients are considered dental phobic and may sometimes require sedation or general anesthesia (being put to sleep) to have their dental treatments completed. Sedation and general anesthesia can be very useful for highly phobic patients, during advanced oral surgical procedures (e.g., removal of impacted wisdom teeth) and for those with certain physical and mental handicaps.
Intravenous Sedation
Sedation dentistry can put you at ease and virtually eliminates the pain associated with dental procedures. Intravenous sedation is one of several options available to significantly reduce your fears and discomfort.
