Sedation Dentistry

Dentistry does not have to be a painful or scary procedure. A visit to the dentist can be a positive experience, even when treatment is necessary. Millions of Americans are afraid of the dentist. They avoid dental care regardless of the costs, simplicity of treatment or affordability. But it no longer has to be that way. Modern dentistry offers safe, effective, and comfortable treatments to anxious and fearful patients. You may have heard of this treatment called anxiety-free dentistry or relaxation dentistry. The best and most accurate name is IV (intravenous or parenteral) medical sedation for dental procedures.

Most fears develop in childhood, so odds are you have carried your dread of the dentist for years. You avoid receiving care and as a result, your dental health deteriorates. If you are no longer able to withstand the pain or discomfort and finally seek treatment, extensive restorative work is required. That means more time in the dental chair, more procedures, and more expense, which only furthers your anxiety. It is a bad cycle that can be broken by modern sedation dentistry.
