In last week’s blog we discussed why so many people are turning to IV sedation to have their dental work done. There are many more reasons to consider IV sedation for your next dental appointment

Get more done in one appointment

If you are like most people who dread going to the dentist and put if off for years, then you will happy to know, with IV sedation you can get several procedures done in just one appointment.

So, while you are very relaxed and comfortable, you can make up for these those missed appointments in just one sitting.

It helps with a strong gag reflex

If you have a strong gag reflex, you know going to the dentist can be a nightmare. IV sedation will reduce this reflex, making it easy to sit still without any gaging.

Sitting still for an extended period of time is easy

If you or a loved one struggles to sit still for an extended period of time, IV sedation can help. There can be a number of reasons why it is difficult to sit still while someone has their hands and instruments in your mouth, a disability, medication, or even a frightened child. With IV sedation, you won’t even feel the need to move around or get up. Before you even realize the appointment is all over.

IV Sedation can improve your quality of life

Your oral health is vital to your overall health. Avoiding going to the dentist due to anxiety or fear will eventually impact your quality of life. IV sedation allows you to have a stress free appointment.

IV sedation dentistry for your health

In the last decade, there has been significant research showing the connection between oral health and your overall well being. For instance, health issues such as rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease, and diabetes, have all been linked to gum disease.

Other research has shown compelling evidence that links oral health issues to osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease, depression, and premature births. All these studies show good oral health is more than just a great smile.

Isn’t it time to say goodby to the anxiety and stress of going to the dentist?

If you’ve been putting it off because of anxiety, the sights and sounds are just too much, it is just too difficult to sit that length of time in a chair, or have special needs, IV sedation dentistry can change all that.
