Sedation Dentistry

Does the idea of sitting in a dental chair fill you with fear and anxiety? Do you feel nervous or anxious leading up to or during dental treatments? Ask Dr. Travis E. Hampton about oral sedation dentistry in Covington, Georgia. Oral sedation dentistry uses medication to help calm anxious patients during dental procedures. 

With oral sedation, our dentists will have you take a pill about an hour before the procedure. Depending on the dosage given, this can produce minimal to moderate sedation. A patient under moderate sedation may slur and mumble with they talk and may not remember the procedure very well.
