Sedation Dentistry is a Dreamy Solution
Has Anxiety Been Keeping You From Your Smile?
Sedation Dentistry is a Dreamy Solution
Does the thought of going to the dentist fill you with fear? Are you so anxious that you even put off regular cleanings? You’re not alone.
Between nine and fifteen percent of people in the United States avoid seeing a dentist because of fear. The feelings can be so intense that people will even risk losing teeth or endure living with toothache pain to put off walking through that dentist office door.
While living with toothache pain or losing teeth is bad enough, we now know that our oral health is directly related to overall health. Gum disease has recently been linked to an increased risk of:
• Heart attack
• Stroke
• Certain cancers, including pancreatic cancer
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Complications controlling blood sugar with diabetes
• Pre-term babies
• Low birth weight babies
Maybe fear isn’t the issue. Perhaps you need major dental work to restore your teeth to optimal health and function, but you just can’t find time in your schedule for several lengthy appointments.
Sedation dentistry may be theideal solution to all of these obstacles.
A Safe, Effective Treatment
Sedation dentistry, also known as “sleep dentistry,” is simple, safe and most importantly, effective. Prior to your appointment time, you will take a pill prescribed by our doctors. This pill will help you feel completely relaxed and extremely comfortable. Due to the effects of the pill, you should have someone drive you to and from the appointment.
Once at our office, our team will monitor your vital signs constantly and you will never be left alone. The remarkable benefit of sedation dentistry is that you are conscious and able to respond to the doctor, but you will essentially sleep through the entire appointment.
A Pain-Free Experience
Why is this treatment option so effective? Sedation dentistry dramatically reduces the body’s natural tendency to tense muscles while stressed, helping patients feel relaxed and at ease. Dental anesthetics, such as Novocain, are more effective while the body is relaxed, practically eliminating any concerns about discomfort during treatment. Any post-treatment discomfort can be treated with simple over the counter medications such as Aleve or Tylenol.
