Going forward with sedation

[Gerie]

I am going to have more serious dental work in my future, I'm afraid. I wish I'd taken better care of my teeth when I was young. At times I want to just go ahead and have all my teeth taken out, I dread the procedures so much. I think fear actually caused me to put off going to the dentist. Sedation may be an answer for me.

Hi Gerie

Thank you for your post.

IV sedation is ideal for the following group of patients:

1) Fear of dental treatment
2) History of traumatic dental experiences
3) Very sensitive gag reflex or difficulty opening
4) Complex dental problems or a need for surgery
5) In denial of a dental problem until the pain is unbearable
6) Have not received professional dental care in many years, perhaps decades
7) Hate the noises, smells and tastes associated with dental care

I suggest you make a consultation appointment with our experienced dentists and sedationists to help you achieve healthy teeth and gums. Consultations are available 7 days a week at Pearl and we are open from 8 AM to 11 PM.
