Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Your Questions
Sedation dentistry involves using medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s sometimes referred to as “sleep dentistry,” although most patients are awake during the procedure unless under general anesthesia. The purpose is to reduce anxiety, discomfort, and pain during dental treatments
There are several types of sedation used in dentistry:
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A mild sedative inhaled through a mask, allowing patients to relax while remaining conscious.
- Oral Sedation: A pill taken before the procedure to help patients feel drowsy but still awake.
- IV Sedation: Administered through the veins, providing a deeper level of sedation where patients may not remember much of the procedure.
- General Anesthesia: This puts patients into a deep sleep, and they are fully unconscious during the procedure
.
Sedation dentistry is generally safe when administered by trained professionals. Dentists who perform sedation must be certified and follow safety guidelines, which include monitoring vital signs throughout the procedure.
This depends on the type of sedation. With nitrous oxide and oral sedation, you will be awake but relaxed. With IV sedation, you may drift in and out of sleep or have little memory of the procedure. General anesthesia will put you into a deep sleep throughout the procedure.
The duration of sedation in dentistry depends on the type of sedation used.
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): The effects of nitrous oxide wear off very quickly, typically within a few minutes after the gas is turned off. Patients can usually drive themselves home and return to normal activities soon after the procedure
. - Oral Sedation: Oral sedation can last for several hours, even after the procedure is completed. The sedation often leaves patients feeling drowsy or groggy for a few hours, and they will need someone to drive them home. Full alertness may not return until later in the day
. - IV Sedation: This method offers a deeper level of sedation, and the effects may linger for several hours after the procedure. Patients will need to arrange for transportation and should avoid strenuous activities until the sedation fully wears off
. - General Anesthesia: General anesthesia puts patients into a deep sleep, and the effects can last for several hours. Recovery from general anesthesia typically requires more time, and patients may feel groggy or disoriented for a significant portion of the day
.
Each type of sedation affects individuals differently, so it’s important to follow the dentist’s specific post-procedure care instructions.

Answers to Your Questions
Stamford, CT, named for Stamford, Lincolnshire, England, is located on the Long Island Sound and was a popular place for New Yorkers to build summer homes in the late 1800s. Many loved the area so much that they moved here permanently and commuted to the city by train to work and conduct their business. Just as those new residents found the quaint town of the day to have a unique charm, we join the other Stamford residents of today who love this city for its special flair. Many people find this surprising because New Haven and Bridgeport are the only cities in Connecticut with higher populations than Stamford. Still, its long history has helped it develop into a truly unique modern municipality. Seated about halfway between New York City and New Haven, this city of around 130,000 is considered to be part of the New York metropolitan area, but offers residents more of a hometown feel.
Part of the reason for that small-town charm and comfort level in Stamford is its low crime rate. FBI statistics show that our city is the 16th safest of the 269 cities in the country. This is quite an achievement for an area that is part of the largest metropolis in the country. Crime control is one of the many things that contribute to residents choosing Stamford as their home. Compared with similar-sized cities, both in Connecticut and in the rest of the country, it is rare to find a safe haven like this. There is certainly a direct correlation between the city’s economic growth in recent years and the low crime rate that our citizens enjoy.
Stamford is a thriving economy in and of itself, with the largest financial district in the metropolitan area, aside from Manhattan. As the home of nine Fortune 500 companies, Stamford features one of the most concentrated centers of corporations in the entire country. Norwalk Community College and UConn Stamford are located here, along with several other popular schools, bringing new minds to the city and encouraging the local economy’s growth. Some of the dominant sectors of the current economy include retail, transportation, telecommunications, health care, information technology, tourism, and financial services. There is no other place for our office to make its home with a vibrant urban pulse like this.

To Whom it May Concern,
I have been going to Dental Care of Stamford for 15 years. I had previously been going to a dentist elsewhere in Fairfield county for six years until a filling was overfilled and … More split my moler.
The team at Dental Care is unsurpassed. They combine consummate professionalism with welcoming warmth.
Over the years I have interacted with many there. My first contact was with Dr. Simon, the indefatigable leader of this thriving practice. At every juncture of my evolving needs, Dr. Simon brought together the right team for me: Paula, Mimi, and Doctor Rools, among other highly competent members of the Dental Care team – too numerous to mention. They are like family.
When a more serious need required two surgeries, Dr. Simon conferred with the dental surgeon, Dr. Rools, to formulate my plan. Dr. Rools is one of the most gentle, calming doctors I have ever met. He carefully explained the procedures and invited my husband to join discussions of the operations so that he could answer any questions we had, also attending to my fears.
I feel grateful to live near enough to Dental Care of Stamford to be able to be in their unparalleled care.

I need to give a shout out to 3 amazing people that helped me through an extraction of my Molar. Dr Rools was the man. A beast! He calmly got that dam tooth out with a great bed side manner. But … More he didn’t do it alone… there was dear ‘ole Nelly that provided confidence that all will be ok.. especially the nitrous oxide! Amazing. Lastly there was Mimi.. she was awesome. She stood by my side and even held my hand when they were literally jack hammering my tooth. If felt like a rock quarry in my mouth. But I couldn’t have asked for a better 3 person crew. I hope you never need a tooth extraction .. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy ..( maybe ). But If you do then make sure it’s these 3 superstars ! J -
My first time at Dental Care and the experience was so great! Joanne did an amazing job with cleaning and Dr. Patel did my fillings in the front to perfection. Oh and Mimi you did an incredible job with … More budgeting, we worked out my financing so smooth. Thank you so much Mimi, you really made me feel comfortable, customer service was beyond top tier. Finally found a Dental home. -
Mimi was awesome, caring and responsible!! As was Dr. Roth!
