Sedation Dentistry

While we certainly love dentistry, we understand that, for many people, a trip to the dentist can create anxiety and fear. To help put our patients at ease, Patrick Toms DMD is proud to offer sedation to patients who are especially nervous about undergoing a dental procedure.

Candidates for sedation dentistry may meet one or more of these criteria:

• Strong fear of dental procedures;
• Traumatic dental experiences in the past;
• Extremely sensitive teeth;
• Difficulty getting numb;
• Very sensitive gag reflex or difficulty opening the mouth;
• Complicated dental problems that may require surgery; or
• Limited amount of time to get lengthy procedures completed.

How does it work?
There are various types of sedation dentistry, and each type works differently to help relieve a patient’s anxiety.

1. Oral sedation
