Dental anxiety is a common concern that prevents many individuals from receiving the care they need. Dr. Joyce Ma offers sedation dentistry in Montgomery, New Jersey, to help patients feel calm and comfortable during their dental treatments. Whether you experience mild nervousness or severe dental phobia, sedation dentistry provides a safe and effective way to ease anxiety and ensure a more relaxed experience.

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help patients feel at ease during dental procedures. It is beneficial for individuals who:

  • Experience dental anxiety or fear
  • Have a low pain threshold or sensitive teeth
  • Have difficulty sitting still for long procedures
  • Have a strong gag reflex
  • Require multiple treatments in a single visit

Our team at Prime Dental Care customizes our sedation options based on each patient’s needs, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience.

Types of Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry offers different levels of relaxation depending on the patient’s needs and the complexity of the procedure. Common options include:

  • Nitrous Oxide Sedation: Also known as “laughing gas,” this mild sedative is inhaled through a mask, helping patients feel relaxed while remaining fully conscious. The effects wear off quickly, allowing patients to resume normal activities after their appointment.
  • Oral Sedation: A prescribed medication taken before the appointment to induce a deeper sense of relaxation. Patients remain awake but feel significantly more at ease.
  • IV Sedation: Administered directly into the bloodstream, IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation. Patients may have little to no memory of the procedure.
