Dental Anxiety? Are you afraid of the dentist?
We offer general anesthesia for patients who prefer to be asleep for their dental procedures. Is your child scared of the dentist? We have many options for sedation to make them more comfortable.
One of the most common issues patients and dentists face is dental anxiety. If you are apprehensive about visiting the dentist, oral or IV sedation will likely be the right choice. We have had patients who didn't see a dentist for decades finally receive care again. Neglecting regular dental care is taking a risk to your overall health. Dr. Maria Wytko can help with your dental anxiety.

The Benefits of Sedation Dentistry
The Sedation Dentistry Treatment Process
Consultation and Evaluation
During your initial consultation, Dr. Maria Wytko will evaluate your dental health and discuss your concerns and goals. This is an opportunity for you to ask questions and learn more about the sedation options available to you. Together, you and Dr. Wytko will determine the best sedation method for your specific needs.
Preparing for Sedation
If you choose oral conscious sedation, Dr. Wytko will provide you with detailed instructions on how to prepare for your appointment. This may include fasting before the procedure and arranging transportation to and from the dental office. If you opt for nitrous oxide, no special preparations are necessary.
The Sedation Experience
On the day of your appointment, you will receive your chosen sedation method. Nitrous oxide is administered through a mask placed over your nose, while oral conscious sedation involves taking a prescribed medication. Throughout the procedure, Dr. Wytko and her team will closely monitor your comfort and safety.
