SEDATION DENTIST BURNABY SERVICES

Dr. Davé has lots of experience working with patients who had bad dental experiences in the past and have dental anxiety. Options for such patients depend on how anxious the patients are. Some of the options are treatment and behavioural modifications, open and clear communication, nitrous oxide laughing gas sedation, and oral sedation.

Most patients benefit from just being able to communicate their concerns. Dr. Davé tries to understand what aspects of dentistry are patient anxious about. Some patients feel anxious about needles, some of noise, some are anxious about not being able to swallow or gagging whereas some patients don't feel comfortable laying too far back in the chair. 

Depending on the issue, Dr. Davé and the team at Norburn Dental Centre work with the patients to accommodate their special requests to have noise-cancelling headphones, certain tv shows, regular breaks, extra numbing jelly, more dental numbing, not leaning the chair too far back etc.

Yes, Dr. Davé always recommends dental numbing or freezing even if you are being sedated. Oral sedation primarily helps with anxiety. Even though it has very mild pain-relieving effects, it's not sufficient enough to entirely replace dental freezing.

No, you will need a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you for the rest of the day. There are also other instructions to follow while you are being sedated. Your friendly team at Norburn Dental Centre will provide you with a complete sedation package and will answer all of your questions when you ask for sedation.
