Anxiety-Free Dental Visits: The Power of Sedation Dentistry
- ✅ Medically Reviewed by Shoreline Dental Studio
- July 1, 2024
Taking care of your health is crucial. For some, even a routine checkup, without any drills in sight, can cause anxiety – especially if you’re dealing with issues or pain. Whether you’ve had a negative experience or just don’t like having someone’s hands in your mouth, it shouldn’t hold you back from getting the care you need.
At Shoreline Dental Studio, we offer several options to help you overcome your fears and keep your health in good shape – with complimentary sedation on selected treatments this summer!
What is Dental Anxiety?
From uneasiness to panic attacks triggered by dental settings, dental anxiety can manifest in various forms. It becomes full-blown dental anxiety when it’s preventing you from seeking care. It’s okay to be nervous or scared, but you still need to take care of your teeth.
Avoiding the dentist can severely impact your health – think worsening cavities, tooth loss, and gum disease. In some cases, neglecting oral problems can affect your overall well-being.
Why Choose Sedation Dentistry?
This approach is a game-changer for those grappling with the dread of the dentist’s chair. Some might wonder, “Is sedation dentistry safe?” – but when you’re in our expert, experienced hands, it is gentle and has no prolonged side effects.
You may only need minimal sedation, remaining conscious for the whole appointment, to make you comfortable during your checkup. When you’re relaxed, the dentist can work more efficiently, often completing many procedures in one visit.
Take the Stress Out of Your Next Appointment
Our advanced sedation dentistry techniques allow you to choose from a range of options based on your level of anxiety. Your first option is oral sedation, taking the medications in pill form.
Of course, your dentist will work with you to determine which sedative and dosage work best for you. For others, inhalation sedation is a better option. Breathing in nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, creates a sense of relaxation to ease you through the process.
