Dental Sedation

Relax. We’ve got you covered.

At Driggers & Baker Family Dentistry, we understand that visiting the dentist can make some patients feel nervous, anxious, or even afraid. That’s why we offer safe and effective sedation options designed to help you feel calm, comfortable, and stress-free throughout your appointment. Whether you need a routine treatment or a more advanced procedure, our sedation dentistry solutions can help you get the care you need without the worry.

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry uses safe medications to help patients relax during dental treatment. It’s beneficial for:

• Patients with dental anxiety or fear
• Those who have a sensitive gag reflex
• Patients undergoing longer or more complex procedures
• Individuals who have difficulty sitting still in the dental chair

Our goal is to make every visit as smooth and comfortable as possible so you can focus on your health, not your nerves.

Types of Sedation We Offer

At Driggers & Baker Family Dentistry, we customize your care to your needs. Options may include:

• Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A mild sedative that helps you relax during treatment. You’ll remain awake and alert, and the effects wear off quickly after your appointment.
• Oral Sedation: A prescribed medication taken before your visit that helps reduce anxiety and keeps you calm throughout your treatment.
• IV Sedation (if applicable): For patients who need a deeper level of relaxation, IV sedation allows us to safely monitor and adjust your comfort level during the procedure.

Is Sedation Dentistry Safe?

Yes. Sedation dentistry is a safe and trusted way to help patients manage anxiety and discomfort. Our team is highly trained and will carefully monitor you throughout your treatment to ensure your safety. Before recommending sedation, we’ll review your medical history and answer any questions you may have so you feel confident in your care.

Why Choose Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry can make your dental visit more comfortable and stress-free. It’s especially helpful for patients who:

• Experience dental anxiety or fear
• Have had negative experiences in the past
• Need multiple procedures in one visit
• Struggle with discomfort, pain sensitivity, or a strong gag reflex

The benefits go beyond easing nerves. Sedation can make longer appointments feel shorter, reduce sensitivity, and give patients peace of mind knowing they can receive the care they need without fear.
