For many people, visiting the dentist can trigger fear or anxiety. Past experiences, sensitive teeth, or the thought of dental procedures can make it difficult to seek the care you need. Sedation dentistry offers a safe and effective way to receive dental treatment while remaining calm and relaxed. At Dental Lounge @ Osborne Park, we provide sedation options to help anxious patients feel comfortable and confident during their dental visits. What Is Sedation Dentistry? Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It is especially helpful for those who: Experience dental anxiety or phobia Have a sensitive gag reflex Require lengthy or complex treatments Have difficulty sitting still Avoid dental visits due to fear Sedation allows you to remain calm while still receiving high-quality dental care. Types of Sedation Available 1. Oral Sedation Taken before your appointment, oral sedation helps you feel relaxed and drowsy while remaining conscious and responsive. 2. IV Sedation (Sleep Dentistry) Administered by trained professionals, IV sedation places you in a deeply relaxed state. Many patients remember little or nothing about the procedure afterwards. Our dentists assess your medical history and comfort level to determine the most appropriate option. Is Sedation Dentistry Safe? Yes.
