Sedation Dentistry Could be the Antidote to Dental Anxiety
If you’re nervous or anxious about complex dental procedures, you’re certainly not alone. Nearly 75% of adults experience “dental chair fear.”
However, allowing this fear or anxiety to keep you from regular dental visits can derail your oral health. Skipping recommended treatments often leads to more serious and expensive dental issues down the road.
Fortunately, sedation dentistry offers an excellent solution to break this cycle.
At the Chesapeake Center for Complete Dentistry, we’ve implemented advanced sedation therapy options to ensure your comfort during every visit. Our goal is to make your dental experience as comfortable, relaxing, and positive as possible, regardless of the severity of your dental phobia or the length of time since your last appointment.
Is Sedation Dentistry Right for You?
Sedation dentistry is especially beneficial for patients who experience any of the following:
- A strong gag reflex
- Difficulty remaining still for extended periods
- Low tolerance for pain or discomfort
- Anxiety or phobia related to dental appointments or complex treatments
If you identify with any of these challenges, please let us know. We will incorporate moderate IV sedation into your treatment plan to help you feel at ease. This approach has successfully helped many of our patients overcome similar issues, enabling them to receive the dental care they need comfortably.
