In answer to the question, **"What is sedation dentistry?"** it may be helpful to simply look up a definition for the word "sedate," which comes from the Latin word "sedatus," meaning calm, quiet, composed or tranquil. For those individuals whose trips to the dentist seem the antithesis of calm and composed, there's good indication that they may be prime candidates for one of our calming sedation dentistry techniques. With several sedation methods available, it's possible for patients to achieve the precise levels of relaxation they require to remain comfortable and anxiety free both before and during their dental treatments. That's one thing we love about sedation dentistry – we're able to assist patients who have dental visit anxieties overcome the fears they may feel, and just to the degree they need.
