What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry uses safe and controlled medication to help patients feel at ease during dental treatment. Depending on the type used, you may feel deeply relaxed but still awake and able to respond. In some cases, you may remember very little about the procedure afterward.

The goal is to create a comfortable environment so you can receive the care you need without unnecessary stress.

Types of Sedation

Your provider may offer different levels of sedation based on your needs, such as:

  • Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A mild form of sedation inhaled through a small mask. It helps you relax quickly and wears off soon after treatment.
  • Oral Sedation: Medication taken before your appointment to help you feel calm and drowsy.
  • IV Sedation: Administered through a vein to provide a deeper level of relaxation during treatment.
  • Conscious Sedation: Conscious sedation helps patients stay relaxed and comfortable during treatment while remaining awake and responsive.

Procedures Commonly Performed with Sedation

Sedation dentistry can be used for many different treatments, including:

Sedation can make both simple and complex procedures feel more comfortable and manageable.

Is Sedation Dentistry Safe?

Sedation dentistry is considered safe when administered by trained dental professionals. According to MedlinePlus information on conscious sedation for dental procedures, conscious sedation is commonly used to help patients stay relaxed and comfortable during dental treatment while remaining awake and responsive.

Dr. Currington in the Buford area is exceptional. She consistently demonstrates professionalism, expertise, and a genuine care for her patients. Her staff is equally impressive - always courteous, attentive, and welcoming. From the moment you walk in, you feel valued and well cared for. I highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking quality medical care in a supportive and professional environment.

No better dentist or staff around. The BEST. Dr Curringtons gift of dentistry surpasses NONE. Worth the positive experience every time. Dr. Currington has taken care of my difficult dental situation for over 10 years. Her knowledge has allowed me to keep my teeth that are extremely challenging. Her staff is as knowledgeable; together, taking great care/attention toward my questions, specific needs, and dental anxiety, while using the most current materials, equipment and training. I have driven from North GA for 4 years and will continue to do so. Dr Curringtons warm personality with her extreme knowledge cannot be compared to any dentist and I've had a few. I go every 3 months and drive 2 hours which tells you something. She supports your detal anxiety, is positive and encouraging when you have dental issues. She knows her profession and I trust her totally. You will not be disappointed in the service, professionalism and extremely well trained staff. Only the best work there. Dont suffer from a bad dentist, like I have done. You owe it to yourself.

In my 60+ years, Dr. Ashley is the best dentist I‘ve ever had! I love everything about this practice!! Dr. Ashley is the best, my hygienist is the best (Dana), and the front desk staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful— they’re the best too! I give Dr. Curington and her team an A++!
