Dental anxiety can make appointments difficult for some patients and may lead them to postpone necessary care.
At Mabelle Dental Etobicoke, patients experiencing dental anxiety can discuss sedation dentistry options in Etobicoke and determine whether sedation may be appropriate for their circumstances.
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help suitable patients feel more relaxed during certain dental procedures.
The type and level of sedation considered depends on the procedure, medical history, medications, anxiety level and individual treatment needs.
Sedation may be considered for certain patients who:
• Experience significant dental anxiety
• Have difficulty tolerating dental procedures
• Have a sensitive gag reflex
• Require certain longer procedures
• Have previously struggled with dental appointments
A consultation and health assessment are required before sedation can be recommended.
If you feel nervous about dental treatment, tell your dental team.
Understanding your concerns allows the team to discuss appropriate strategies and determine whether sedation or another approach may help make treatment more manageable.
Your dental provider will review relevant health information before recommending sedation.
