Sedation Dentistry
If you have trouble getting comfortable at the dentist's office, you're not alone. According to the Academy of General Dentistry, 40 million Americans avoid dental visits because of fear or anxiety. Drs. Farruggia understand you concern and offer a safe, effective solution. Sedation dentistry, often called "sleep dentistry," can help you achieve peace of mind while we work on improving your smile.
Sedation dentistry involves an oral sedative that you take prior to your visit. The sedative creates an overall feeling of calm and relaxation. Many people are so comfortable that they fall asleep on their own accord, hence the term "sleep dentistry." However, with sedation dentistry, you'll retain consciousness, and you'll be aware enough to respond to Dr. Farruggia's questions. The sedative has an amnesic effect, so you'll probably remember little of the actual procedure. Normal sensation will return the following morning.
We'll answer any questions you may have before treatment so that you'll know exactly what to expect. Sedation dentistry has been used safely for over 30 years, and it could be just what you need to help you achieve optimal dental health.
