Dental Phobias and Sedation Dentistry

Some people have a very real fear of dental offices. Others experience terrible anxiety when they just think about a dental visit. These fears and feelings of anxiety prevent them from stepping foot in a dental office.
                                                          
Some of the reasons people have dental phobias include:

  • A past traumatic experience at a dental office
  • The sound of the dental equipment
  • The thought of any possible pain that may be involved in dental treatment

The longer a person waits to seek dental care, the worse their teeth become even if they brush and floss on a daily basis. Only a dentist can clean your teeth professionally to keep them in the best health possible.

Sedation Dentistry for Dental Phobias

Sedation dentistry is the perfect solution for anyone who has a debilitating fear or horrible anxiety that prevents him or her from visiting a dental office. This branch of dentistry focuses on keeping you in calm, relaxed, and conscious state during your entire dental visit with the use of a safe anesthetic.

Please contact our sedation dentistry office for a consultation about how we can help you with your dental phobias. You can get the dental care you need in a relaxing and comfortable environment.
