Prior Lake, MN Dentist Introduces Sedation Dentistry To Practice

    PRIOR LAKE, MN, August 05, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Babcock and Morgan Family Dentistry, dentists in Prior Lake, are pleased to announce the use of sedation dentistry for calming patients' dental fears. Sedation dentistry is the process in which Dr. Morgan establishes a relaxed, easy and calm state for a procedure through the use of sedatives which can be administered in a variety of ways.

Intravenous (IV) sedation involves administering sedatives via injection into the blood vessels of a patient's hand or arm. Sedation dentistry has evolved to be an even more relaxing experience today, giving patients an alternative to traditional methods of inhalation and IVs.

"There are many patients who suffer from dental anxiety, but it is important that they take charge of their fears in order to maintain proper oral hygiene. This is why we are pleased to offer sedation dentistry to aide in calming patient's' fears," said Dr. Thomas Morgan, Prior Lake children's dentist.

The no needle approach has been proven to be more appealing to patients than previous methods. Oral sedation dentistry has become one of the most common techniques used in the United States and Canada to calm patient fears and make for minimal pain procedures. The medications used during procedures create a comfortable experience for every patient, which may make it so that they do not remember much about their visit to Babcock and Morgan Family Dentistry's office.

Although sedation is not like anesthesia, it may raise a patient's pain tolerance. Most dental procedures will still require a local anesthetic to go along with sedation, to ensure a painless treatment. The local anesthetic will temporarily block pain impulses from the affected tooth and gum tissue.

They are committed to making access to dental health care as convenient, comfortable and accessible as possible.
