Sedation Dentistry

San Diego Dentist & Sedation Dentistry by Dr. Paul Coleman

Conscious sedation dentistry allows you to relax deeply through dental procedures. You take a pill prior to your appointment and members of Dr. Coleman’s team will monitor your vital signs constantly. Although you will be awake enough to respond to the doctor, you will have little or no memory of the procedure.

Sedative pills and nitrous oxide relax your body, and local anesthetic eliminates pain. It’s perfect for people who have fears about their procedures, or others who have difficulties at the dentist or who are undergoing complex procedures. Because of the relaxing effects of the medication, you should have someone drive you home following your appointment.

Anxiety is one of the primary reasons that people avoid necessary dental care. Dr. Coleman not only offers sedation dentistry, but he is also a certified sleep dentist. If you are extremely fearful, or need to undergo extensive dental work Sleep Dentistry may be the best option for you.
