​Kick off your shoes. Grab that magazine you’ve wanted to read for weeks and stretch out. The relaxation kicks in, starting with your head. You feel it roll through your neck and each vertebrae of your back. Even your toes tingle with excitement as they’re relieved from carrying you around all day.

The lights are dim. The sounds are soothing. Ahhh. The peace of being in…the dentist’s chair?

Yes, gone are the days of uncomfortable procedures and tense moments at the dentist’s office. Today, there is an alternative. Sedation dentistry is now available to patients who would rather catch up on some zzz’s than watch hands and instruments hover above their nose during a procedure. So, how is this possible?

Dr. Hucklebridge will prescribe a mild sedative that is to be taken 30 minutes before your procedure. It is similar to a restful nap. A single pill can relax the mind enough to induce sleep in most patients. After the procedure, a friend or family member drives you home, and voila! You have made it through your dental visit in complete comfort and total relaxation. For more information on sedation dentistry, and whether or not you would be a good candidate for this wonderful option, please contact Plano Smile Studio today for your complimentary smile consultation.
