If you have fear or anxiety about going to the dentist, you may want to consider sedation dentistry. Sedation dentistry allows you to go through your dental visit without anxiety or fear. Sedation dentistry can help in many different situations. If you have had a bad dental experience, even a simple cleaning can create severe stress and anxiety, which can lead to further problems down the road.
If you have any stress or anxiety, we can offer a simple consultation prior to doing any work so you can meet our office staff, the dental hygienist and your dentist. This is also a good time to discuss with the dentist your personal situation and talk about sedation dentistry to see if you would be a good fit. Depending on your level of anxiety or fear and the type of dental procedure, he may prescribe a sedative, an anti-anxiety medication or suggest IV-sedation.
Another time sedation dentistry can be beneficial is if you are considering having a lot of work done. Whether you’re coming in to have multiple procedures or a complete smile makeover, sedation dentistry can help make the time fly by and can help ease any anxiety you may have.
