Who Is a Good Candidate for Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry helps a wide range of patients, but it is not automatically right for everyone. A careful health review determines whether it is a safe and beneficial choice for you.

Ideal Candidates

Sedation is especially helpful for those with dental phobia, a sensitive gag reflex, difficulty achieving numbness, physical limitations that make sitting still hard, or a need for lengthy treatment.

Health Considerations

Certain medical conditions, medications, and pregnancy affect sedation choices. That is why we review your complete health history and, when appropriate, coordinate with your physician before recommending an option.

Finding Your Fit

During a consultation at our Oviedo office we discuss your concerns and match you with the lightest effective level of sedation. The goal is always safe, comfortable, personalized care.
