Whether you’re an adult with dental anxiety, a caregiver for someone with special needs, or just looking for a more comfortable dental experience, we’re here for you.
For many people in St. Louis, a routine dental cleaning can feel like anything but “routine.” Dental anxiety, sensory sensitivities, or past negative experiences can turn a simple visit into a source of stress. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you have options.
At The Dental Anesthesia Center, we specialize in sedation and sleep dentistry, helping patients of all ages get the essential care they need—comfortably and safely.
🦷 Why Are Dental Cleanings Important?
Regular cleanings are one of the best ways to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other serious dental issues. But when anxiety or a medical condition makes it difficult to sit through an appointment, skipping cleanings becomes a real risk to your health.
That’s where sedation dentistry makes a big difference.
😷 What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses safe, controlled medications to help you feel relaxed—or even sleep—during your dental visit. It’s ideal for patients who:
- Experience dental anxiety or phobia
- Have a low pain threshold
- Struggle with gag reflexes
- Require multiple procedures in one visit
- Have special needs or developmental disabilities
Sedation Options at The Dental Anesthesia Center
We offer a full range of sedation options—not commonly available at general dental offices in St. Louis:
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A mild sedative that helps you feel calm and comfortable.
- Oral Sedation: A pill taken before your appointment that reduces anxiety.
- IV Sedation & General Anesthesia: Deeper sedation used for patients with severe anxiety, special needs, or complex dental procedures.
Our team includes board-certified dental anesthesiologists, making us uniquely qualified to provide these advanced sedation options safely.
❤️ A Better Experience for You or Your Loved One
