For many patients, the thought of visiting the dentist brings anxiety—even fear. However, delaying care can lead to more serious dental issues down the road. That’s why sedation dentistry is a game-changer. It allows patients to receive the care they need—without the fear, stress, or pain.
“Great dentist!! Dr B. is super and does great work. Have been going to him for years. His freezing needles never hurt at all. Amazing..don’t know how he does it! Just got partial uppers and lowers and they fit perfectly..no sore spots. Always great you with a smile and the receptionist is always accommodating. Recommend this office. – Marilyn W.
At 7Dental, we make it possible to stay calm and comfortable during your dental visit.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses safe, controlled medications to help you feel calm and relaxed during your dental procedures. Depending on the level of sedation, you may feel lightly drowsy or deeply relaxed—some patients even fall asleep and remember very little of the treatment.
Who Can Benefit from Sedation?
Sedation dentistry may be a great option for:
- Patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety or phobia
- Those with a strong gag reflex
- Children or adults who find it difficult to sit still
- Patients undergoing lengthy or complex procedures
- Individuals with low pain tolerance
- People with previous traumatic dental experiences
Types of Sedation Offered at 7Dental
1. Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
- Inhaled through a mask
- Quick onset and wears off within minutes
- Keeps you awake but relaxed
2. Oral Sedation
- A prescription pill taken before your appointment
- Helps you feel deeply relaxed or drowsy
- You stay conscious but may not remember much of the procedure
