Sedation Dentistry = Anxiety Free Dentistry
|
|
It’s called sleep dentistry, and it may well be the greatest advance ever made
towards truly pain-free and anxiety free dentistry procedures.
|
|
For a lot of people, the unpleasantness of a dental appointment isn’t so much fear
as it is stress from that "in-your-face" aspect of the procedure.
|
|
We all have our own sense of personal space. And when hands and tools enter the
mouth, as they must, the feeling can get downright claustrophobic. Fortunately,
there’s an antidote to this problem, anxiety free dentistry!
|
|
Here’s how it works: After an initial consultation with a sleep dentist you’ll
take a medication just before your next visit. You’ll need a friend to help
transport you to and from the office safely.
|
|
When you arrive for your appointment you’ll be awake, but drowsy. Most important,
you’ll be relaxed, anxiety free. While you’re in the chair, the sleep dentist and
sleep dentistry team monitors you closely. You won’t be unconscious, you’ll just
enjoy a soothing mental and emotional "distance" from the goings on.
|
|
Next thing you’ll know, your sleep dentist is telling you the procedure is
complete and it is time to go home - thanks to anxiety free dentistry.
