A Few Simple Facts About Anxiety Free Dentistry

A Few Simple Facts About Anxiety Free Dentistry

By Riley Bitner


If you have a fear of or worry about going to the dentist, you may be surprised to hear that your dental work can be performed in a secure, pleasant, soothing environment.

Your dental experience can be completely comfortable. With sedation dentistry, your visits will be more efficient and effective. Even better, you won't remember the sights, smells and sounds of the dentist office.

Even if you are there for more than just a checkup, (i.e. you need to have a cavity filled or a root canal), your visit can be a pleasant experience. Almost 30% of all Americans avoid yearly dental visits, even if they are experiencing discomfort. Properly trained sedation dentists can help those of us who avoid dental care by using oral and or IV medications to relieve the stress and anxiety of sitting in the dental chair.

You may have heard this type of treatment called anxiety free dentistry, relaxation dentistry, even sleep dentistry but the best and most accurate name is sedition dentistry. Sedation dentistry is a way for you to get the dental attention you want even while you are completely relaxed and at ease. It is an exciting science and is expanding your opportunities at the dentist.

Anxiety free or sedation dentistry involves a variety of procedures that your dentist can employ in order to make your time in his or her chair more relaxing and comfortable. Each patient's needs are taken into consideration and a method is selected based on how anxious or nervous and patient may feel. A sedation dentist may choose to give you an oral sedative, or if the circumstance requires a stronger medication, IV medications may be delivered. Patients will never be completely asleep and will be aware of their surroundings, but comfortable and relaxed...anxiety free!

If you avoid the dentist because you are nervous about having dental work done, sedation dentistry is definitely the most comfortable way to go!
