Worried About Dental Care? Sedation Can Help!Worried About Dental Care? Sedation Can Help!Has it been several years since you last saw the dentist? If so, is it anxiety that has gotten in your way of getting proper dental care? Routine preventive visits help to keep teeth and gums healthy and looking their best. They are also essential to preventing common issues, such as cavities and even gum disease. Fortunately, for patients who do suffer from generalized dental anxiety, or those who may require rather extensive restorative treatment, dental sedatives are often a safe and effective way of calming anxiety and also keeping patients comfortable as they receive the dental care they need, whether preventive or restorative.

Sedation Is Safe and Effective for Most Patients

If you are ready to overcome your dental fears, sedation could be a great option. For the vast majority of patients, there are safe and effective forms of sedation that can be used to help patients get the dental care they need, without the fear that they’d like to avoid.

Sedatives like nitrous oxide, for instance, or laughing gas as it is more commonly called, take effect quickly and create a sense of calm. Yet their effects wear off quickly, allowing most patients to return to work or school following their dental appointment. Oral sedatives are another safe option for most patients, and these can often be taken prior to the visit, to help keep patients calm before they even arrive at their preventive or restorative appointment.

Don’t Skip Key Dental Care Because of Anxiety

If you want to protect your smile from common threats, routine dental appointments are essential. For patients who have left dental anxiety stop them from seeing their dentist in the past, it can be extremely beneficial to ask about sedative options, so that they can move forward, giving their smiles the care that they require.
