7 Reasons You Should Consider Sedation Dentistry Or Sleep Dentistry
Is making an appointment to visit the dentist something you avoid? Are you at least a little afraid that the dentist’s procedure will hurt? Regular dental check-ups are essential to good dental health and good overall health. If you find that you’re postponing your check-ups because you’re anxious about visiting the dentist, it’s time to try sedation dentistry. However, reducing anxiety is just one of many good reasons to try this increasingly-popular type of dentistry.
Benefits of sedation dentistry
Sedation dentistry, also called sleep dentistry, uses general anesthesia to put the patient “asleep” during dental procedures. Our dentists are licensed to administer anesthesia and offer this option for complex procedures and for patients who are “afraid” of the dentist
It may reduce anxiety
If you’re like most people, you’re at least slightly wary of visiting the dentist. With sedation dentistry, you know that you won’t feel a thing, so you can sit back and relax in the dentist’s chair.
