Sedation Dentistry Takes the Fear Out of Dental Visits
If you’ve delayed dental care for many years, you’re not alone. Many of our patients haven’t visited a dentist in more than five years, and some as many as thirty or more. Dental phobia is one of the most common fears people face, from mild anxiety to extreme distress. Sometimes, the apprehension is so great, a person might not seek treatment for dental pain, leaving his or her smile to deteriorate. It’s important to seek the care necessary for optimal oral health, and sedation dentistry calms fears for a relaxing experience at our Schenectady dental office.
With safe, effective sedation dentistry, you can get the dental work you need and the smile you deserve, comfortably and without fear. Oral sedation has been used safely for more than thirty years to perform millions of dental procedures. Dr. Page is certified by the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation (DOCS) and New York State to administer sedatives to patients who experience dental anxiety. She also uses nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to promote a calming experience as well as IV sedation.
On the day of your appointment, you'll take a small amount of medication. After you enter a state of relaxation, we’ll restore your treasured smile, often in just one visit. You’ll be monitored throughout your visit. Be sure to bring along a friend or family member to drive you home. With sedation dentistry, you’ll enjoy a comfortable experience and leave with pleasant memories of your visit.
IV Sedation Also Available
While not part of this offer, Dr. Page is one of only a very small number of general dentists in the Capital District licensed by New York State to administer IV sedatives to help their patients relax and be more comfortable during their dental procedures. IV sedation also allows Dr. Page to complete comprehensive dental treatment plans in our office, most often without the need for additional appointments and coordination with other specialists.
