Sedation Dentistry
(For the coward in us all.) We recognize that visiting the dentist can be traumatic for some patients and the fear of pain may actually prevent them from taking care of their most noticeable facial feature, their teeth. At WAYNE BRUEGGEN, DDS, we are professionals at managing pain before, during, and after your dental procedures. We encourage our patients to be as open as possible when discussing pain and we want you to know that we will do everything we can to minimize your discomfort.
Dr. Brueggen was one of the first to offer conscious oral sedation and is certified in the technique.
Conscious oral sedation
is extremely simple and safe requiring only a combination of two or three pills. It leaves you in a very comfortable state of relaxation very close to sleep. Some patients remember their appointment, others do not. I.V. Sedation is another alternative that permits a deeper level of sedation to be obtained. Drugs are administered by a physician through an I.V. line. Provided in this manner I.V. sedation is also very safe and extremely effective even for the most anxious patient. With either conscious oral or I.V. sedation you can be absolutely confident that even the most difficult of dental procedures can be handled comfortably, painlessly and safely. |
