Who needs sedation dentistry?

If you struggle with dental anxiety, you’re not aloneโ€”and there’s absolutely no reason to feel embarrassed. Millions of people feel nervous or fearful about visiting the dentist, whether due to past experiences, fear of pain, or the sounds and smells associated with a dental office. However, sedation dentistry can suppress your fears and provide a relaxing dental experience.

Other reasons you may need sedation dentistry include:

  • Low pain tolerance
  • Strong gag reflex
  • Undergoing lengthy or complex procedures
  • Over-sensitive teeth
  • Inability to numb with local anesthetics
  • Inability to stay still in the dental chair

We understand that dental anxiety is real and validโ€”it’s not just in your head. We prioritize creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable discussing your concerns openly. We’re here to listen, support, and guide youโ€”never to pressure or shame you. If you have dental anxiety, let Dr. Fred Lima and his team show you how comfortable dentistry can be.

What is oral conscious sedation dentistry?

Sedation dentistry can be administered in several ways, including orally, by inhalation, or intravenously. Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed anti-anxiety pill before your appointment. As the medication takes effect, it reduces feelings of fear and nervousness, often making you feel drowsy, but not unconscious. You remain awake and able to respond to your dentist, but your sense of time, awareness, and memory of the procedure are significantly reduced. Many patients feel like they’ve just taken a light nap, even though they were conscious the entire time.

Because the effects of sedation can linger, please arrange for someone to drive you home. You should rest for the remainder of the day and avoid driving or operating heavy machinery.
