Sedation Dentistry Q & A
What services are available at Dreamtime Dentistry?
Our services include catering to children and adults needing general anesthesia or IV sedation and extending our care to those who may encounter challenges due to fear, disability, youth, or other special needs.

What exactly is sedation dentistry?
Sedation dentistry involves using medical sedatives to improve your dental treatment experience. Whether you need to be more at ease during your procedure or require help staying still throughout your treatment, sedation dentistry is a valuable resource. Our team at Dreamtime Dentistry has extensive experience incorporating sedatives into dental treatments, leading to transformative patient experiences.
Who can benefit from sedation dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is an excellent supplementary tool for those who might feel anxious about visiting the dentist’s chair. It can be used for individuals who:
- Have specific disabilities.
- Have a sensitive gag reflex.
- Have severe dental phobias or anxieties.
- Have difficulty staying still for lengthy procedures.
- Prefer to be unconscious during their treatments.
Children can also benefit from sedation dentistry, especially if they require more than local anesthetic or nitrous oxide for efficient dental care delivery.
What dental sedatives are provided at Dreamtime Dentistry of Vista, California?
At Dreamtime Dentistry, we routinely deliver various dental anesthetic options, including:
- Local anesthesia. An injection into the mouth area being treated to numb the tissues and prevent pain during the treatment.
- Nitrous oxide. Otherwise known as laughing gas, this mild sedative relaxes you and, at times, may even induce light giggles. It takes effect fast and wears off shortly after you stop inhaling it, and you are administered oxygen through the same mask over the nose.
- General anesthesia. This is the most potent form of sedation dentistry, which can alter your state of consciousness or allow you to stay unconscious like you are asleep during the treatment.
How do I know if sedation dentistry is safe?
At Dreamtime Dentistry, all of our sedation dentistry procedures are safe. Our team is adept at patient screenings and will identify any risks before scheduling your sedation. We utilize state-of-the-art monitoring technologies, ensuring safety from start to finish.
