The term “sedation dentistry” might sound a bit scary, but it is quite the opposite. Using a sedation dentist brings the frightening aspect of dental work or surgery to a less-frightening place via sedatives that will enhance relaxation and calmness during what otherwise might be a traumatic experience for some patients. The days of traumatic experiences at the dentist’s office are over thanks to sedation dentistry and the trained, experienced doctors who are there to ensure that their patients are comfortable.
