Dental anxiety is not uncommon. Fortunately, it can often be overcome. In fact, for many patients, sedation is a great way of overcoming fears, in order to receive the preventive care that is needed to avoid dental problems.
Oral sedatives are one option, that can usually be taken prior to a preventive appointment to help keep a patient calm leading up to his or her cleaning. However, nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, as it is more commonly called, is an even more popular choice, because it is safe and effective for the vast majority of patients. Plus, its effects wear off quickly, allowing most patients to return to work or school shortly following their dental visit.
Sedation can also be used during dental services, in order to help keep a patient comfortable and relaxed. This is particularly useful if extensive restorative treatment is necessary.
To find out if a form of sedation is safe for you, and if so, which kind would be most effective, schedule a consultation with your dentist.
