What is Sleep Dentistry?
Sleep Dentistry describes a variety of special techniques that allow you to receive quality dental care in comfort by promoting a peaceful state of relaxation or sleep.
Many people, both adults and children are not comfortable having dental treatment completed with local anesthesia alone. Sleep Dentistry is a solution that is quick, comfortable and safe
In fact, surveys done in Ontario indicate that if given the choice, most people would prefer to have an alternative to “just freezing” to be more comfortable during extensive dental procedures. Many patients who delay getting the necessary treatment do so because they are unaware of the option to sleep through it all!
Sleep Dentistry allows you to receive dental treatment while avoiding the sensations and discomfort that cause anxiety and stress. As a Certified Specialist in Dental Anesthesia, Dr. Chow can offer you a full range of sedation techniques while undergoing any dental procedure… even routine oral hygiene. Because your jaw, tongue, and facial muscles are relaxed while you are sedated, Dr. Chow can be more efficient and complete multiple high-quality dental procedures in a single session. This means fewer trips to the dentist.
Sleep Dentistry is also lighter and less stressful than hospital general anaesthesia and the safety record of in-office anaesthesia administered by Dentist Anaesthesiologists is unsurpassed by any other system of anaesthesia delivery.
These techniques and special medications promote light or deep sedation, or light levels of general anesthesia, and thereby eliminate the pain and stress that make many people anxious about dental treatment. They also allow you to receive multiple procedures in a single visit.
