Overview
Several medications are available to help
create more relaxed, comfortable dental
visits. Some drugs control pain, some
help you relax, and others put you into
a deep sleep during dental treatment.
You and your dentist can discuss a number
of factors when deciding which drugs
to use for your treatment: the type of
procedure, your overall health, history
of allergies and your anxiety level are
considered when determining which approach
is best for your particular case. Working together you and your dentist
can choose the most appropriate steps
to make your dental visit as comfortable
as possible.
