About I.V. and Oral Sedation
 They Really Work! You really can relax through your dental appointment. Your
companion will accompany you to the office. By the time you arrive, you
will be very drowsy.
It Is Safe! Yes. In our office you can be assured that we are constantly updating our skills and all team members are trained in Advanced Cardiac Life Support. You will never be left alone.
You will have little or no memory of the experience. You won't remember
any sounds or smells.
You will be escorted into the comfort room, covered with a thick, warm blanket and
have your vital signs monitored. After you are comfortable, Dr. Dougherty and the experienced clinical team at Bethesda Sedation Dentistry
will take care of your dental needs.
With sedation dentistry, you can relax for up to five to six hours. The time
you are relaxing will vary depending on your treatment needs and the
type of sedation that is appropriate for you.
Complex dental treatments that often require six to eight appointments,
can be done in as little as one visit! All while you relax.
People who have difficulty getting numb will find that sedation dentistry
eliminates this problem.
Sedation dentistry is a safe way to reduce the fatigue of extended dental
care requiring long visits.
