Dental office’s throughout New Hampshire see their patient’s suffer with anxiety every day. Their fear is real and has a measurable impact on the experience of the patient. The psychological and physiological effects are well documented. Whether it is the sights, sounds, smells, or previous trauma, it can make a simple filling or cleaning, almost impossible.
While dental anxiety is not a new phenomenon, it has recently come under a spotlight. As more and more adults and children are forgoing their dental visits. Which in turn has the potential of causing overall health issues. Dentistry Today explains in a recent article linking oral health with overall general health.
Since the theory of focal infection, the amount of evidence linking oral conditions to general health has increased dramatically. In terms of research, periodontitis leads the way due to its clear potential to cause damage elsewhere in the body. Strong evidence supports its contribution to several conditions, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, respiratory conditions, Alzheimer’s disease, pre-term birth, cancer, and others.
Both dentists and patients feel they are limited in their treatment options for anxiety.
This has led to the increase of dentists partnering with anesthesia groups to offer their patients a deeper level of sedation, without increasing their liability. Offering another team member who is solely focused on the safety of the patient and their positive experience. Taking care of pre-operative and post-operative recovery.
Affordable, safe, and flexible anesthesia care is a cost effective way for a dental office to attract more patients to their office. It is a great marketing tool. Happy patients share their experience with friends and family.
