There are many dentist Anchorage clinics but few of them offer up-to-date sedation dentistry. The absence of this service can make a nervous dental patient opt for the pain of losing a tooth rather than undergoing a painful oral surgery or procedure. At Mint Dental, you will find a dentist highly competent in IV sedation. A visit to this clinic will provide a relaxing experience, and your dental anxiety will become negligent during the dental procedure.
What is Sedation Dentistry?
This is the use of sedatives during dental procedures. The sedatives range from tranquilizers to anti-anxiety medication and nitrous oxide. The sedatives are administered through intravenous (IV), inhalation or oral methods.
The Procedure
The Mint Dental expert will first examine your dental history, anxiety levels and other prevailing health conditions. You will also have to provision you lifestyle and dietary habit details. This is because sedatives can be risky depending on certain medical conditions, or they may react in certain ways upon contact with food supplements, smoking and drinking. In this pre-treatment consultation, the dentist will give you advice on your pre and post treatment diet. This will also determine the ideal sedative and dosage.
