Rethink Dentistry with Relaxing Sedation Dental Care

Have you been avoiding dental appointments because of dental fear? You no longer have to! Pearl Dental Care offers numerous sedation dentistry options to improve your dental experience in Hamden, Connecticut. Whether you have dental anxiety or phobia, you don’t have to miss crucial dental appointments. Sedation dentistry helps fearful patients to have positive and productive dental experiences.

Sedation dentistry options

Since patients’ needs vary, there is no silver bullet in combating dental fear and anxiety. The severity, cause, and triggers of dental fear aren’t the same for everyone. Drs. Gary and Scott Pearl understand this very well, and that’s why we offer several sedation dentistry options, such as:

• Nitrous oxide: Nitrous oxide or laughing gas is administered through a mask placed on your nose. This treatment is a safe and effective agent that works well for children and adults. Even better, nitrous oxide is reversible immediately after removing the breathing mask.
• Oral sedation: The dentist prescribes a pill an hour or so before your dental appointment. This sedation gives you deep relaxation, although it keeps you awake to respond to your dentist. Many patients have conquered their fear of the dentist with just oral sedation. 
• IV sedation: If you have severe dental phobia, IV sedation is the ideal treatment. This treatment is administered through an IV line inserted in your vein. You remain conscious during treatment, but we monitor your vital organs and breathing to ensure nothing goes wrong.
