Seeing the Dentist Can Be Stressful
We understand that visiting the dentist can be a source of anxiety for many people. Dental fears and phobias are common, often stemming from past negative experiences, fear of pain, or discomfort with the sights, sounds, and smells of a dental office. These concerns can lead to delayed dental care, which can exacerbate oral health issues. At Gen 2 Dentistry, we aim to remove these barriers by offering sedation dentistry to help you feel calm and relaxed during your visit.
Understanding Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry involves the use of medications to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s a safe and effective way to manage dental anxiety and ensure a stress-free experience. Sedation can be administered in various ways, including oral conscious sedation (a pill taken before the appointment) and inhaled sedation (a breathable gas). These methods help patients feel calm and comfortable, allowing the dental team to perform necessary treatments efficiently.
When is Sedation Used in Dentistry?
Sedation can be used for various dental procedures, from routine cleanings to more complex treatments. It is particularly beneficial in the following situations:
- Patients with dental anxiety or phobia
- Those undergoing lengthy or complex procedures
- Patients with a low pain threshold or sensitive teeth
- Individuals who have difficulty sitting still in the dental chair
- Patients with a strong gag reflex
- Children or adults with special needs who may have trouble cooperating during dental visits

Frequently Asked Questions
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Yes, sedation dentistry is safe when administered by experienced professionals. At Gen 2 Dentistry, our team is trained in sedation techniques and will monitor you throughout the procedure to ensure your safety and comfort.
Will I be unconscious during sedation dentistry?
No, with both oral conscious sedation and inhaled sedation, you will remain awake and able to respond to the dentist. These methods are designed to help you relax without putting you to sleep.
How long will the effects of sedation last?
The effects of oral conscious sedation can last for several hours, so you’ll need to arrange for transportation home. Inhaled sedation wears off quickly, allowing you to resume your normal activities shortly after your appointment.
Can children receive sedation dentistry?
Yes, sedation dentistry can be a great option for children who experience anxiety or have difficulty sitting still during dental visits. Our team will determine the most appropriate sedation method based on your child’s needs.
Will my insurance cover sedation dentistry?
Coverage for sedation dentistry varies by insurance plan. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand your benefits. Our team at Gen 2 Dentistry can also assist you with any questions regarding insurance and financing options.
Are there any side effects of sedation dentistry?
Side effects are generally mild and may include drowsiness, dizziness, or mild nausea. These effects typically wear off quickly. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help manage any side effects.
How should I prepare for my sedation dentistry appointment?
For oral conscious sedation, follow the instructions provided by our team, which may include fasting for a certain period before your appointment. For inhaled sedation, there are usually no special preparations needed.
