Allure Dental provides sedation for our dental patients, resulting in a calm, stress-free visit to us each time you need dental work done at our conveniently located surgery near Joondalup, WA.
Overall, sedation dental care can help make dental procedures more comfortable and less stressful for patients, which can lead to better oral health outcomes and a more positive dental experience.
However, it is important to discuss the risks and benefits of sedation dentistry with your dentist to determine if it is the right option for you.
Emergency sedation is also available if required.
Oral sedation can assist you to feel more relaxed during your dental treatment. You will remain semi-awake during the procedure but have little or no recollection of it. Your Dentist will discuss with you how this needs to be administered for your course of treatment.
The medication we use is Ativan. Ativan is administered in tablet form (1 – 2 tablets depending upon your age, weight and height). Effects of Ativan include drowsiness, nausea, loss of balance and unsteadiness on feet. The medication will be provided in our Clinic one hour prior to your scheduled appointment – during this time you will be monitored by our staff.
To help to prevent or reduce the symptoms of nausea it is recommended that you fast for 6 hours prior to the procedure or only eat a very light meal prior to your procedure.
It is important to note the effects of Ativan sedation will remain in your body for approximately 24 hours, therefore you MUST BE accompanied after your appointment as you will be unable to drive. Having someone stay with you for at least 24 hours following the procedure is also essential.
YOU MUST NOT DRIVE A VEHICLE OR OPERATE MACHINERY FOR A MINIMUM 24 HOURS AFTER TAKING ATIVAN
There are several reasons why someone might choose sedation dental services, including:
4. Sensitive teeth: Some people have sensitive teeth, which can make dental procedures painful or uncomfortable. Sedation can help reduce the patient’s sensitivity, making the procedure more tolerable.
5. Fear of needles or local anesthesia: Some people have a fear of needles or are unable to tolerate local anesthesia. Sedation can help these patients feel more relaxed and comfortable during their dental appointment.
In summary, sedation dental services can be beneficial for people who experience dental anxiety or fear, have a strong gag reflex, need to undergo complex or lengthy procedures, have sensitive teeth, or have a fear of needles or local anesthesia.
If you are considering sedation dentistry near me, it is important to discuss the risks and benefits with the team at Allure Dental to determine if it is the right option for you.
Allure Dental’s focus is on providing a wide range of general dentistry services, appropriate for all ages of patients.
