At Family Dentistry of Port Charlotte, we believe that sedation is an important component of dentistry. Sedation is used to help our patients manage pain and anxiety before and during treatment.


Comfort and safety are always our top priorities when administering sedation at Family Dentistry of Port Charlotte. The goal of sedation is to make the experience as easy and stress-free as possible for our patients.

We offer the following sedation options:

Local Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is used for managing pain. Applied by injection, local anesthesia numbs the immediate area. It does not have any impact on a patient’s mental awareness and does not directly reduce anxiety; however, some patients take comfort in knowing that they will not feel any pain.


Oral Sedation: Oral sedation is a pill that is taken shortly before dental treatment. This medicine will help the patient feel relaxed, and it will reduce anxiety. It can also make the patient less aware of pain. The patient should remain relatively aware of their surroundings, and they should return to normal shortly after treatment is complete.
