Please visit our La Costa, San Diego County office for sedation (sleep dentistry) information if you have neglected your dental health because of apprehension about treatment. Candidates for oral sedation include adults who have:

• High fear
• Previous traumatic dental experiences
• Difficulty getting numb from anesthetic
• Sensitive gag reflex
• Limited time to complete dental care
• Complex dental problems
• Fear of needles and shots
• Aversion to the noises, smells, and tastes associated with dental care
• Embarrassment about their teeth

If you suffer from any of these, Dr. Stephen Dankworth and Dr. Kimberly Corrigan-Dankworth can help. As skilled, trusted dentists, they understand patients' apprehension towards dentistry and use a gentle touch for all dental treatments provided at our Carlsbad office. You may opt for oral sedation if you have experienced any of the above problems and are in need of dental treatment.

How Sedation Dentistry Works

Prior to your appointment, you will swallow a small pill provided by our dentists. A friend or family member will drive you to our Carlsbad office as the oral sedation sets in. By the time you arrive, you will be drowsy and comfortable. You will continue to relax in your treatment room with a warm blanket. Your vital signs will be monitored and our highly trained and experienced clinical team will take care of your dental needs. When treatment is complete, you will awaken with little or no memory of the visit, but will go home with a beautiful smile.
