Sedation Dentistry
Serving patients in Auburn, Portland, and Gray, Maine
There is no need to be embarrassed about being afraid of the dentist. Even though Dr. Robert Beebe has been specially trained at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Cosmetic Dentistry in the ways of patient care, Dr. Beebe does not take it personally if the thought of going to the dentist makes you nervous - rational or not, lots of people don't like visiting the dentist.
Sedation dentistry is a great way to eliminate the worry from dental procedures. It's relaxing, safe and anxiety-free.
So what is sedation dentistry? It's the administration of a sedative. It does not render you totally unconscious. Rather, it's a way to totally relax you during your dental procedure.
About an hour before you go to the dentist's office, you'll take a pill, at home, which your dentist will have given you ahead of time. Someone will need to drive you to the dentist's office, because during that hour you'll start to get very drowsy. By the time procedure starts, you'll be very, very relaxed. In fact, after the procedure is over, you'll probably fall asleep for a few hours. Most patients wake up feeling refreshed, and have little, if any, memory of the procedure.
However, sedation dentistry is different from sleep dentistry, where the patient is totally unconscious. Sleep dentistry typically requires the presence of an anesthesiologist; sedation dentistry does not. Also, with sedation dentistry, the patient rarely falls into a deep sleep.
Sedation dentistry is very safe, and most patients love it. Additionally, under the effects of the sedative, numerous dental treatments can be completed in just one visit. If you have any fear or nervousness regarding a trip to the dentist, be sure and talk to your dentist about sedation dentistry - a trip to the dentist is about to get a whole lot more comfortable!
