- Sensitivity to pain: Heightened sensitivity leading to a fear of discomfort or pain during dental treatments
- Complex dental issues: Extensive or complicated dental problems requiring longer or multiple sessions, increasing anxiety and discomfort

Sedation Dentistry Options at Bartram Dental Center
These options cater to varying levels of anxiety and procedural needs, ensuring patient comfort during dental treatments.
General anesthesia
General anesthesia is a deep state of unconsciousness induced for extensive dental procedures or for patients with severe anxiety. It ensures you feel completely relaxed and pain-free throughout your treatment, allowing our skilled team to work efficiently and effectively. This method is crucial for complex surgeries or when traditional sedation isn't sufficient.
Local anesthesia
Local anesthesia numbs specific areas of your mouth during procedures, ensuring you're comfortable and pain-free without affecting your overall consciousness. It's vital for minimizing discomfort and anxiety associated with certain dental treatments.
Nitrous oxide
Nitrous oxide, or "laughing gas," offers a gentle, effective way to ease anxiety and discomfort during dental procedures. Administered through a comfortable mask, it induces a relaxed state while keeping you fully conscious and able to communicate. This safe and quick-acting sedative provides immediate relief from dental nerves, ensuring a pleasant experience without lingering effects afterward.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation at Bartram Dental Center involves taking a prescribed pill before your appointment to induce a relaxed and calm state. It's ideal for patients with moderate to severe anxiety or those undergoing lengthy procedures. You remain awake and responsive but deeply relaxed, reducing fears and discomfort associated with dental visits.
