Relax and Feel at Ease with Sedation Dentistry
At Camas Periodontics, Dr. Tran, Dr. Nguyen, and their team are committed to making your dental experience as relaxing and comfortable as possible. For patients who experience mild anxiety, moderate dental fear, or even severe dental phobia, Our dental sedation offers effective solutions. While sedation is not mandatory for periodontal procedures, it helps manage pain and anxiety, allowing patients to undergo treatments more comfortably.
If you’re curious about sedation options, please feel free to inquire at your next appointment with Camas Periodontics.
Sedation Options at Camas Periodontics
- No Sedation: For patients who prefer full awareness, local anesthesia ensures comfort while allowing them to drive to and from their appointments.
- Oral Conscious Sedation: This involves taking oral medications before the procedure to reduce awareness and promote relaxation. While you’ll remain responsive, you may feel sleepy or forgetful. This option requires someone to escort you home.
- IV Sedation: Administered via an intravenous drip, this technique provides the deepest level of sedation, ensuring maximum comfort. With IV sedation, you’ll likely have little to no memory of the procedure. Your vitals, including blood pressure and oxygen levels, are closely monitored throughout for safety.
Patients who choose sedation must arrive with a trusted companion to drive them home. Recovery begins in the office, and patients are advised to avoid driving or operating machinery for 24 hours after the procedure.
