Sedation or "Twilight Sleep"
You probably have heard the radio adds about "Sedation
Dentistry" and how you can get all your treatment
done with just taking a little pill. You probably have also
heard about treatment without anxiety, and
that this is the method of choice for people who suffer
going to the dentist.
Well it is all true. We prefer to think about sedation
dentistry as "Twilight Sleep" or to put it into context, a
"three martini - don't-give-a-damn state of relaxation."
That should explain it. Actually the experience is quite
pleasant, with the patient awake and able to understand and
communicate with the doctor and staff, and walk out after
treatment with little help. The great thing about "Twilight
Sleep" is that you won't be afraid or remember much of the
operation. My wife (David's Mom) recently had her implants
done this way. Can you imagine a dentist's wife and mother
being so fearful? It happens.
So Mom went through the treatment (she took a
small pill) and was amazed at the total process.
Think about it and if you have any questions, call us at
