Sedation Dentistry in Portland, Maine: For a Glowing Smile


Sedation dentistry is the best option for those people who need to visit the dentist but are overtaken by fear and anxiety at the thought. As the words suggest it means that the patient is kept calm and unafraid while undergoing dental health procedures. Skilled and experienced dentists in the sedation dentistry techniques in Morgan Dental Care make the visit to the dentist a comfortable and rewarding experience.

Sedation dentistry techniques come in variety of options depending on the patient’s level of anxiety. Oral sedative taken the night before the visit is recommended for patients who fear needles and are in need of lengthy procedures. Anxiolysis with pills or nitrous oxide are best for those with moderate level of anxiety about sitting in a dentist’s chair.  For a light level of sedation to relax the slightly anxious patient, anxiolysis sedation can be administered orally one hour before the scheduled visit.

Cosmetic dentistry for correction of serious to mild dental aberrations such as tooth loss, drifting teeth, impaired chewing, gum disease need not be a major stressful experience.  Anxiety and nervousness can be overcome more easily through sedation dentistry. Under the gentle and experienced care of Dr. Ted Morgan and Dr. Amanda Rockwood of Morgan Dental Care, sedation dentistry offers the comfort and assurance needed by anxious or fearful patients in Portland, Maine area towards a healthy and glowingly attractive smile.
