Visiting the dentist can create anxiety for some people. This anxiety and fear prevents some people from even going to the dentist at all. Missing dentist appointments causes cavities and other dental issues. For this reason, San Ramon Sedation Dentist Dr. Aggarwal provides sedation dentistry at his office.
About Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry is a technique used to help calm patients so they can undergo any cosmetic dentistry procedure they need. Oral sedation dentistry is the newest and most common technique. The medications used provide a comfortable and relaxing experience leaving patients feeling as if they slept through the entire visit. Sedation dentistry is safe because it continues a level of consciousness in the patient.
Dr. Aggarwal will prescribe a sleeping pill for you to take about an hour before your dental visit. This insures that you come into our sedation dentistry office calm and relaxed. You may take another sleeping pill after you arrive if your anxiety is preventing you from having your procedure. It is extremely important to have someone drive you to and from our dental office. You will not be able to drive while you take the sleeping pills.
A member of our experienced dentistry staff will help you be seated in a dental chair and check your vital signs as you enter a calming sleep. Your cosmetic dentistry procedure will be completed while you sleep. You will be relaxed when you wake up and you will not remember anything about the procedure.
