A Relaxing Dental Visit

Even though Dr. Agrawal works to deliver painless injections, some patients are uneasy at even the thought of a needle. If you break into a sweat at the mention of going to the dentist, we have a simple solution for you.

Sedation

An hour before your visit, you take a small pill that we dispense. You reach a level of relaxation that allows you to respond to questions but mostly snooze through your entire visit. This is particularly beneficial for fearful people or those who don’t have time for multiple visits.

At Prime Dentistry, Dr. Dhiren Agrawal understands that dental anxiety and fear can prevent many individuals from seeking the dental care they need. That is why he offers oral conscious sedation and IV sedation services to help patients feel relaxed and comfortable during their dental procedures.

Oral conscious sedation is a safe and effective method of sedation that involves taking a prescribed medication before the dental appointment. The medication induces a state of deep relaxation, making the patient feel calm and at ease throughout the procedure. With oral conscious sedation, patients remain conscious and able to respond to the dentist’s instructions, but they experience reduced anxiety and heightened comfort and sleep through the procedure.

Dr. Agrawal carefully evaluates each patient’s medical history and individual needs to determine the appropriate dosage and medication for oral conscious sedation. During the procedure, the patient’s vital signs are closely monitored to ensure their safety and well-being. After the treatment, patients may feel drowsy and will need someone to drive them home.

In addition to oral conscious sedation, Dr. Agrawal also offers IV sedation for patients who require a deeper level of relaxation. IV conscious sedation involves the administration of sedative medication directly into the bloodstream, allowing for a more profound and controlled level of sedation. This method is particularly beneficial for patients with severe dental anxiety, extensive treatment needs, or those undergoing complex procedures.

Both oral conscious sedation and IV sedation can benefit patients in several ways. They help alleviate anxiety, reduce pain perception, and create a more relaxed dental experience. These sedation techniques also allow Dr. Agrawal to perform multiple procedures in a single visit, minimizing the number of appointments and reducing overall treatment time.
