What is Sedation Dentistry?
Making Dental Visits Comfortable and Stress-Free
Sedation dentistry involves using medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s especially helpful for those with dental anxiety, a sensitive gag reflex, or difficulty sitting through long treatments. Various sedation options — from mild nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to deeper sedation — are customized based on each patient’s needs.
At Fortson Dentistry in Lathrup Village, MI, we provide safe and effective sedation options to make your dental experience smooth, comfortable, and worry-free. Our goal is to help you receive the care you need without fear or stress.
