Just the thought of going to the dentist can make my heart start to race and my palms start sweating! According to my dentist, I am not alone! Recent studies show as much as 20% of those living in New Hampshire, avoid going to the dentist because of anxiety.
At last I found an easy way to overcome my dental anxiety. Sedation dentistry saved more than just my smile, it has allowed me to get all my dental work done in one appointment!
No more listening to metal scraping my teeth or the sound of the drill. I wake up refreshed and relieved that I was finally able to achieve good oral health.
According to my dentist, Sedation Dentistry is becoming increasingly popular. The intravenous nature of sedation dentistry means I feel the medication working almost immediately, with no memory of the procedures or any pain. I felt comfortable and safe knowing my vitals were being monitored, including breathing, oxygenation, and heart rhythm.
I was a little skeptical at first, but I did my research and found IV sedation during dental procedures isn’t just for those with anxiety. Patients with sensitive teeth, disabilities such as Down’s syndrome, autism, Alzheimer’s, a gag reflex, or those in need of long dental procedures, can all benefit from sedation dentistry.
I felt comfortable knowing my procedure was specifically tailored for me. With just enough medication to ensure I was comfortable throughout the procedure. The Colgate Oral Care Center recommends dental sedation for reducing stress before, during and after treatment. Explaining it is normally a very safe procedure.
I was also pleasantly surprised it was covered under my insurance!
