Going to the dentist may not be something you are looking forward to, but it is necessary for healthy teeth and gums. It can also ward off potentially serious oral health issues and diseases.
Throwing dental phobia, special needs, a gag reflex, or not able to sit still for a long period of time, into the mix, and it can be almost impossible to get through a dental appointment.
“Patients with a moderate to high level of fear and anxiety are more likely to miss, cancel, or avoid a dental appointment,” according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
Dental phobia is a serious and growing problem here in New Hampshire. If something is keeping you or a loved from getting the oral health care, then you should consider dental sedation.
Here Are Just a Few Reasons Why to Choose IV Sedation for Your Next Dental Appointment
Quicker
The medication takes effect immediately. Easing the patient’s fears and anxiety. This allows the dentist to perform more procedures in less amount of time.
Relaxed But Alert
This deep state of relaxation means the patient won’t feel or remember much of the dental appointment. But they will be conscious during the procedure and able to respond to any questions.
More Control
With the assistance of a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, there is more control over the how much medication is administered. It also ensures all the safety precautions are taken for the most effectiveness.
Quicker Recovery
Don’t worry, you will be able to get back to all your normal activities in no time. Less downtime and quicker healing.
Improved Oral Health
An easy solution. IV sedation allows patients to make up for all those skipped dental treatments in just one appointment.
Which is why more and more New Hampshire residents of all ages are turning to sedation dentistry to overcome their fear. It is a safe and easy way to achieve healthy teeth and gums and the smile you’ve always wanted.
