Sedation can help a patient relax (or even sleep) while the doctor does his\/her work. By having a calm patient, the dentist can get the work done quickly and efficiently. Depending upon the degree of sedation the patient may have full, little, or no memory of the event.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Pain-Free<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the many <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dental_fear\"><b>fears of dental work<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is people worry about pain. A major benefit to sedation dentistry is it completely eliminates any pain felt during the procedure. It also negates the possibility of imagined pain or injury that may occur in a particularly anxious patient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-395 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/lambtonfamilydental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/sedation-dentistry.jpg\" alt=\"When Sedation Dentistry Is the Best Option for You\" width=\"503\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lambtonfamilydental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/sedation-dentistry.jpg 503w, https:\/\/lambtonfamilydental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/sedation-dentistry-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Sedated but Awake<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the patient is in a calmer state, sedation dentistry does not necessarily completely \u201cknock out\u201d a patient or render them unconscious.
