We provide sedation dentistry in our Piedmont office for patients in Piedmont, Oakland, San Francisco, Berkeley, Orinda, Lafayette, Walnut Creek, and throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
I am constantly amazed at how wonderful sedation dentistry is. A great new patient of ours came in recently with a chipped wisdom tooth. It was clear that all of his wisdom teeth needed to come out. He had been putting off the inevitable because he was nervous about the procedure and the recovery.
He decided that if he was going to have his wisdom teeth out, he wanted to be sedated--which was a great decision. On the day of his visit, he took a sedative at home one hour before his appointment, then his wife drove him to our office.
When he arrived, he was still quite alert, so we gave him another sedative. I promised him that we wouldn't do anything until he was completely relaxed and comfortable. Before long, he looked very relaxed, so we began.
After numbing him thoroughly, his wisdom teeth came out uneventfully, and we kept him under observation until he was ready to go home. His wife stayed with him and took care of him the rest of the day and evening.
When I saw him the day after his extractions for a post-op visit, he was thrilled! He said the last thing he remembered was taking the sedative here in the office. He didn't remember a thing about the procedure! He said he only required Advil and Tylenol for mild discomfort--not real pain--and he didn't have any swelling.
The last thing he said to me was, "If I had known it would be this easy, I would have done it years ago!" Oh, he did say one other thing--that he was going to recommend us on Yelp!

I have read several articles which say how helpful sedatives are particularly to people who are hesitant to go to the Dentist as it is safe and effective.
