Sleep Dentistry (Oral Sedation)
Dr. Grace is a dedicated advocate for patients experiencing dental anxiety. She employs oral sedation techniques to ensure her patients are as comfortable and relaxed as possible during their dental visits. Oral sedation, also known as conscious sedation or sleep dentistry, involves using one or a combination of medications to help patients feel at ease throughout the procedure. While patients remain awake and responsive, they experience a profound sense of relaxation and may have little to no recollection of the procedure’s details. This approach not only helps to alleviate anxiety but also allows for a quicker recovery, enabling patients to resume their daily activities shortly after their appointment. Dr. Grace’s commitment to using these calming methods underscores her focus on providing compassionate care tailored to the needs of those who may feel nervous about dental treatments.
