Call our St. Clair Shores office today to learn more about our sedation options.

Can i be sedated

During my appointment?

Yes! If you are free of any health issues that would prevent sedation from being administered, you can be sedated during any treatment at our office. Many patients with dental anxiety choose sedation because it helps them stay calm throughout their procedure. However, sedation is also often chosen by those with other issues like a strong gag reflex or a fear of needles.

Relax in the dentist's chair

with oral sedation

Oral sedation is taken in pill form about an hour before your procedure. This medication will make you feel groggy and calm, and you might even fall asleep during your procedure. However, if you choose oral conscious sedation, you cannot drive yourself home after your appointment, since the effects don’t wear off immediately. Make sure to a ride home from our St. Clair Shores office! You may also feel more groggy, or experience side effects like a headache or nausea, in some cases.

The benefits

of sedation dentistry

Sedation dentistry has a number of great benefits. These options make it easier for patients with dental anxiety to get the oral care they need and it can reduce feelings of fear and anxiousness before dental surgery. Sedation can even allow Dr. Cassleman to work faster because patients who are sedated will not react as strongly to various sensations throughout the procedure. This is particularly true with younger children, who may have a tendency to squirm and difficulties sitting still for long periods of time.
