What is Dental Sedation?
Going to the dentist can be a great cause of fear for a lot of people. Some patients shiver with anxiety at the mere thought of having their teeth cleaned at the dentist, while others would rather go through the agony of a toothache before they even think of calling the dentist. Dental phobia is a common barrier to care experienced by many patients. However, you need not let it stop you from enjoying the benefits of a healthy smile.
Woodway Family Dental cares about your comfort and well-being. That is why we offer sedation for all types of procedures, from a basic cleaning to more serious or complex procedures.

- Patient Education

Is Dental Sedation Safe?
Yes, our experienced team is trained to safely administer dental sedation. Our sedation methods can be safely combined with local anesthesia. Local anesthesia is used to completely block all nerve sensation during a procedure. It is usually administered by using a gel or injecting the medication into the treatment area, numbing your mouth and reducing any potential discomfort.
