Moderate Sedation


Did you know?

Always replace a toothbrush after you've had a cold, sore throat or a notorious infection. The bacteria plants themselves on the toothbrush so you can actually reinfect yourself.

Dr. Swallow has learned from thousands of patients over the years that the dread of dentistry is a composite of past bad experiences and unhappy results, along with a genuine fear of the unknown when meeting with a new dentist. The new patient worries that he or she may not have made a good choice and fears that the prospect of undertaking extensive treatment, expense, and trauma will fail to achieve the desired result.

The comprehensive diagnosis and treatment planning process at the Center for Restorative Dentistry puts most of these fears to rest. After some initial therapy, most patients usually come to realize that past fears are not relevant and in most cases they will require little pain management past local anesthesia.

There are some, however, who have deep-rooted fears that may not be overcome so nicely. At the Center for Restorative Dentistry, moderate intravenous sedation is available for more extensive and arduous procedures and those who simply need it to achieve their goals of dental health, function, comfort and a beautiful smile.
