Sedation

Sedation Dentistry offers anxiety-free dental procedures as the patient is in a deeply relaxed state, though fully responsive. It means something even more important: a comfortable experience - often with no recollection of the time passed. We often hear from patients who express their gratitude and delight in their first ever visit to the dentist without fear.
 
People with the following are candidates for sedation dentistry:
  • Fear of dental procedures
  • Past traumatic dental experience
  • Difficulty getting numb
  • Bad gag reflex
  • Very sensitive teeth
  • Complex dental problems
  • Hate the noises, smells and tastes associated with dental care
  • Are afraid or embarrassed about their teeth

All of the amazing advances in dentistry can't do a thing for you if you don't go to the dentist. Dr. Romano realizes that there are a lot of legitimate reasons why many people stay away from the dentist. It's been estimated that almost half of the population has some kind of dental fear, from people who feel a little uncomfortable, to those who are so terrified they can't set foot in a dental office. Whether it's fear or something else that's keeping you away, today's dentistry gives Dr. Romano many options for making you comfortable throughout your appointment. Sedation dentistry uses medications to relax patients which makes for a totally comfortable dental experience.

Doing your part: The role of the patient

As a patient, your role is to discuss treatment options, fears and concerns so that we can fully address your needs.

  • Be sure to tell us about any existing medical conditions or changes in your health history since your last visit.
  • Tell us about any drugs you are taking (herbal, prescription, over-the-counter, and recreational). Remember to mention drug allergies or dependencies you may have and any problems with medications in the past.

Discuss the risks and benefits of each anesthetic option.
