Calming Care for Anxious Patients
Often people suffering from dental anxiety avoid visiting the dentist and miss out on vital preventive care and important treatments. To help you get the care you need and deserve, our NE Calgary dentists offer dental sedation.
Dental sedation refers to a variety of medications used to make nervous patients feel more relaxed during dental procedures. Sedation is also helpful during long and complex dental procedures that can become uncomfortable for patients to sit through. The need for dental sedation is assessed on a case-by-case basis. Our dentists can help determine if a dental sedation option is right for you.
At MarPark Dental Care, we do everything we can to help patients feel relaxed and comfortable during their dental appointments. In addition to offering sedation options, we will work at your pace, take breaks whenever you need them, and provide calm reassurance along the way.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedatives are pills or liquids prescribed by your dentist. The medication is taken orally in advance of your dental appointment. It leaves you awake for the procedure but produces a calming effect to significantly relax you.
General Anesthesia
General anesthesia is a controlled state of unconsciousness that eliminates awareness, movement and discomfort during dental treatment. Complex treatments can be completed while you are asleep in one appointment.
