Sedation Dentistry Options Provided at our Milwaukee, Wisconsin-area Practice
At the office of Dr. Poglitsch, we recognize that many patients experience anxiety at the prospect of undergoing dental work. In fact, studies have shown that anxiety related to visiting the dentist is the most common reason that people put off going in the first place. Of course, avoiding dental work will only lead to further, more severe complications. To counteract this trend, our staff believes in making our patients’ time with us as comfortable and painless as possible. To make dental work less stressful, we offer sedation dentistry to our patients in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area.
How Sedation Dentistry Works
Sedation dentistry simply involves the use of medication to produce a “twilight” sleep. The patient remains conscious and can answer any questions during the dental procedure; however, after the procedure is over, he or she will have little or no memory of the visit. Dr. Poglitsch uses oral medication rather than intravenous medication to perform sedation dentistry.
Who is a Candidate for Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is perfect for patients who wish to undergo multiple dental procedures in a single visit, those who have a strong gag reflex or problems with TMJ, or for those who have trouble controlling their movements. Sedation is also ideal for patients with severe anxiety about visiting the dentist. If your fear of needles or dental procedures is getting in the way of maintaining good dental health, sedation dentistry can help calm your nerves and make your experience more relaxing.
Patients who elect to have sedation dentistry must have a ride home from our Milwaukee, Wisconsin area office, as they will not be able to operate machinery while the medication is still in their system. Sedation dentistry is not for everyone, and Dr. Poglitsch will take several factors into account, including your medical history and any medications you are taking, before using sedation for any procedure.
