Benefits of Sedation Dentistry

Lexington Park, MD Sedation Dentist

At Tidewater Dental, we believe you should have a gentle, stress-free experience at each visit. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry to our patients. There are several excellent benefits to selecting Sedation Dentistry for use in your next procedure. Some of these include:

  • Sedation dentistry provides a gentle, soothing experience that can help you overcome dental anxiety or dental phobia.
  • Sedation allows your body to relax more completely, increasing the effectiveness of local anesthesia
  • Sedation reduces the sensation of passing time, which can be very useful if you need a complex procedure or multiple procedures done in a single sitting.
  • Sedation’s relaxing effects also prevent your muscles from stiffening or becoming sore due to spending extended periods of time in one position.

Though it is true that the dental procedures you need can be done without sedation, we find that many of our patients are greatly helped by using Sedation Dentistry as a part of their individual oral health treatment plan.
