There are many levels of dental anxiety, from mild to extreme. While some people are terrified to sit in the dental chair, for others it may be the lights and sounds, not able to sit still for a long period of time, or special needs. Whatever the reason, it makes going to the dentist a terrifying experience! 

You can try and face your fear, but many times that is almost impossible. Which leads to avoidance. But that can lead to some serious oral health issues, which can affect your overall well being.

If this sounds like you or your loved one, you don’t have to suffer! There are options that can help. IV sedation is an option worth considering. It can allow you to catch up on years of missed appointments. 

Unfortunately, not going to the dentist means you’ve missed routine cleanings, tarter has built up on your teeth, and they have become discolored. Cavities, tooth loss, and even gum disease can develop. These types of infections are linked to significant medical conditions, such as heart disease and diabetes. Not to mention the discomfort and pain it can cause. 

IV Sedation 

We all avoid things we don’t like, but the dentist doesn’t have to be one of them. IV sedation is an easy and safe way to get all the dental work done without any anxiety or pain.  The best part is, you won’t even remember much, if any of the appointment. 

During IV sedation, a certified registered nurse anesthesiologist will administer medication intravenously. They will also closely monitor your vital signs and breathing for the duration of the procedure. They can adjust the medication as needed. 

You will feel calm and relaxed, no anxiety and nothing will bother you. It will feel like just a couple of minutes have passed by and you can catch up on years of missed dental work in just one day!

Many people feel anxiety and fear about going to the dentist.  Which is IV sedation has become so popular. 

If you would rather do just about anything else than go to the dentist or take a loved one to their appointment, you are not alone! Contact Blue Sky Anesthesia Associates for more information
