Calgary Sedation Dentistry
No matter how gentle the dentist or hygienist is, you may still have a fear of the dentist's office. Your anxiety and concern could even prevent you from caring for your teeth altogether! But your Calgary dental visit doesn't need to be stressful or worrisome anymore.
At Ambiance Dental, Dr. Wasik now offers sedation dentistry (sleep dentistry) to his Calgary clients. This means you can spend your dental appointment in conscious sedation, feeling safe, relaxed and entirely comfortable.
What Does Sedation Dentistry Feel Like?
Two methods of sedation are offered at our Calgary sedation dentistry clinic: oral sedation (small pill), nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") or a combination of the two. Both methods work similarly in making you feel relaxed, comfortable and anxiety-free.
Sedation dentistry will put you in a relaxed state called conscious sedation. This is not the same as general anaesthesia - you will be nearly asleep, but still able to respond and communicate. After your appointment you will be unable to remember most of what happened, leaving you with no unpleasant memories, and even long visits will seem to go by quickly.
Sedation Dentistry and Safety
For safety during your appointment, we will use state of the art monitoring equipment to ensure a healthy level of oxygen in your blood, stable heart rate and blood pressure. To ensure the best practice of safety and effectiveness, Dr. Wasik completed special training in sedation dentistry at the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Toronto.
We look forward to seeing you for sedation dentistry.
It's easy to book an appointment online, or by phone.
