What is Dental Sedation?
Dental sedation refers to a variety of techniques used to make patients more comfortable during dental procedures. Our dentists can help determine if a dental sedation option is right for you.
At Magrath Dental, 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 when you need them, and provide calm reassurance as needed.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedatives are medications prescribed by your dentist and taken by mouth at our office before your appointment. They do not put you to sleep, but they create a calming effect that helps you stay relaxed during treatment.
General Anesthesia
General anesthesia creates a controlled state of unconsciousness, so you are not aware of the procedure. This option may be recommended for certain treatments and allows your dentist to complete the necessary care while you are asleep.
