Sedation Dentistry at Pannu Dental Group
Relax in the Chair: Safe, Comfortable Sedation Dentistry at Pannu Dental Group
At Pannu Dental Group, we understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful for some patients. That’s why we offer safe, effective sedation dentistry options — so you can get the care you need in total comfort.
Whether you experience dental anxiety, have a strong gag reflex, or require a more complex procedure, sedation dentistry can help make your experience smooth and worry-free.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s ideal for:
- Dental anxiety or phobia
- Fear of needles or drills
- Sensitive teeth or strong gag reflex
- Difficulty getting numb
- Multiple or lengthy treatments
You’ll remain conscious but deeply relaxed — and often, you won’t even remember the procedure
