Unfortunately, many people here in New Hampshire dread going to the dentist. While oral health is important to our overall health, anxiety is keeping us from making it to our dental appointments.
Missing those dental appointments can end up causing more damage and costing us more money.
“We use our teeth multiple times a day, every day,” says Jennifer K. Shin, DDS, a dentist in private practice in New York City tells EveryDay Health. “They take on a lot of abuse, so coming in twice a year gives us an opportunity to assess any changes that can be easily addressed. If problems are caught early, the solutions are easy, quick, and inexpensive. But a cavity left undiagnosed can lead to a toothache, requiring much more extensive and costly treatments.”
While there are many reasons why we avoid going to the dentist, IV sedation can help make them go away. It is simple and easy, just contact Blue Sky Solutions and have a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist bring safe hospital level sedation to your dental office.
Dental anxiety is the number one reason why people don’t get the necessary dental work they need. The best thing you can do is to talk to your dentist, tell them how you feel. Consider having IV sedation, while it does not make you go to sleep, it will make you feel relaxed. You won’t feel any pain, even temporary amnesia, but you will be able to answer any questions the dentist may ask.
Another reason, a previous traumatic or bad memories. An instilled fear when you were younger can have a lasting effect. But today’s technology has changed, IV sedation means you won’t notice the sound of the drill, the feel of the instruments in your mouth, or the distinct smells of the dental office.
The fact is, dental fears and phobias are real and are quite common. IV sedation can improve you or your loved ones experience at the dentist. Contact Blue Sky Solutions for more information and to make an appointment.
