As a sedation dentist, Dr. Myers understands dental anxiety, fear or phobia.
He knows that some guests don’t respond well to traditional numbing agents,
and those who need lengthy or multiple procedures may avoid dental care
because they don’t want to sit in the dental chair for hours.
The medicine is called Triazolam. It is a small pill that is taken prior to your
dental visit. This medication has been prescribed over 10 million times per year
and has almost no side effects or interaction with other medications you may be
taking.
What are the Benefits?
It allows you to comfortably undergo everything from a cleaning to extensive
restorative care. One of the additional benefits is that the medicine has an
amnesia quality which for most guests, tends to prevent almost any memory of
the visit. This effect will last between 2-4 hours for most.
Is it Safe?
We constantly monitor each guest with a computerized pulse oximeter, which
measures heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation. We also have a
reversal agent on hand that reverses the effect of the sedation medication in less
than 30 seconds. We have treated over 5000 guests safely and comfortably.
Whatever your concern is about dentistry, Dr. Myers and his team want to help
you overcome them and experience the rewards of sedation dentistry. |
