Because there are a number of different sedation options available, it is helpful to understand how each works.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At Pearl White Dentistry, we have been using sedation dentistry to help people in Ft. Lauderdale and throughout South Florida improve their smiles and keep their mouths healthy for more than 15 years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pearlwhitedentistry.com\/meet-the-doctor.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Natalia Benda-Celenski<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">has been cited for \u201cExcellence in Clinical Achievement\u201d because of her professional achievement and personalized approach. She also has significant experience using sedation dentistry to improve patients\u2019 experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Sedation Options<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fortunately, there are a variety of different sedation options for people anxious about seeing a dentist. At Pearl White, we commonly offer these options:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Oral Sedation: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You take a sedative about an hour before the appointment and arrive already feeling relaxed before your dental treatment begins. This option is often used for people who are very nervous about a visit or are undergoing extensive treatment. The sedative takes some time to wear off, so you should not drive yourself to or from your appointment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Nitrous Oxide:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Commonly referred to as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is often used for more run of the mill dental visits. It offers a little extra relaxation to relieve any stress during the appointment. The sedative wears off immediately, allowing you to resume daily activities right away.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At Pearl White, we take the time to understand each and every patient\u2019s specific needs. Dr. Natalia and her team pride themselves on making personal connections with their patients, including tailoring treatment plans to their individual situations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Make an Appointment with a <\/b><b>Fort Lauderdale<\/b> <b>Dentist<\/b><b> Today<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you want to improve your oral health or brighten your smile and are feeling anxious about seeing a dentist, Pearl White can help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether you are experiencing a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pearlwhitedentistry.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">dental emergency<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, need a routine checkup and cleaning, or are thinking about cosmetic dentistry options, we will take the time to understand your situation and walk you through your options.
