There are some dental procedures that require sedation or anesthesia. It can be a local anesthetic that numbs an area of the mouth or the entire mouth if needed.
There is also a form of sedation that encourages a deep sleep to keep the patient from feeling any pain. It is important to have an open conversation with your dentist to decide which procedure is right for you, and there are some important questions to ask before making your decision.
