Sedation
Recent research has
indicated that the number one reason adults postpone needed
dental care was fear! If you have any of the following:
• Fear of dental treatment
• History of traumatic dental experiences
• Difficulty getting numb
• Very sensitive gag reflex
• Extremely sensitive teeth
• Complex dental problems; or a need for surgery
• Often make and then cancel dental appointments due to anxiety
• Experience sweaty palms or find yourself gripping the armrests
…you may be a candidate for sedation! With safe and proven
techniques, we provide patients with sedative drugs which work
rapidly to create a relaxed state that is maintained and
monitored throughout treatment.
Sedation Facts:
• It really works! You really can relax through your dental
appointment.
• You will have little or no memory of the experience.
• People who have difficulty getting numb will have no problem
when relaxed.
• You breathe on your own. This is not like the hospital
anesthesia
where a machine breathes for you.
• You remain conscious during the sedation. You will also be
able
to understand and respond to requests from your dentist
IV
Sedation
Dr. Gurinsky has received specialized
advanced training and certification to
administer intravenous sedation. With this
type of sedation - also known as Deep
Conscious Sedation, medications are released
directly into the blood stream. The greatest
advantage of IV Sedation is that if you are
not sedated enough, Dr. Gurinsky can
administer more medication and the effects
are instantaneous.
Oral
Sedation
Oral sedation is administered by taking a
pill. All body functions remain normal, and
while you may fall asleep, you are able to
breathe on your own. Some degree of amnesia
is common.
