Sedation dentistry

Would you rather suffer through the pain of a toothache than visit the dentist? Does the thought of undergoing a simple tooth cleaning make you tense up with fear? If you answered yes, don’t worry, you are not alone. 75% of U.S. adults suffer from dental anxiety and 10% suffer from a dental phobia. Luckily, there is a solution. You can finally relax in the dental chair thanks to sedation dentistry.

Who can benefit from sedation dentistry?

A lot of people can benefit from sedation dentistry. You can especially benefit from dental sedation if:

• You avoid care because of anxiety
• You have a sensitive gag reflex
• You don’t get numb with local anesthesia
• You are scared of needles
• You have special needs
• You have a low pain threshold
• You suffer from extreme tooth sensitivity

What are the benefits of sedation dentistry?

Some of the top benefits of sedation dentistry include:

• It can make it feel like less time has passed
• It helps get more accomplished in one visit and reduces the need for multiple visits to the dentist
• It allows you to relax during dental treatments
• It helps keep your oral health in good standing since you won’t avoid visits

What are the types of sedation dentistry?

Our Country Isles Dental practice offers nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and local anesthetics. Nitrous oxide is a gas that we administer moments before the procedure. This gas is a safe method of inducing a semi-conscious state in which you will be able to communicate with your dentist but won’t feel any of the pain. Local Anesthetics are used to temporarily numb a portion of the mouth for a short period of time.
