Fear of the dentist is a huge problem. We're not going to pretend it doesn't exist, and we won't take your dislike for dentistry/dental offices personally. We intent to go out of our way to make your visit with us as stress free and comfortable as possible.
As many as four out of five admit being afraid of the dentist, it is estimated that one in seven never get any dental treatment at all because of dental phobia. Sedation dentistry is a pain-free option.
Three Types Of Dental Fear
There are three different types of dental fear that affect and contribute to the lack of dental care: Dental anxiety, dental fear and dental phobia.
Dental anxiety is reacting to an unknown danger. Up to 75% of people have at least some form of dental anxiety related to going to the dentist. It's caused by having a dental procedure they've never experienced before.
Dental fear is reacting to a known danger such as a dental procedure that they've had done before and experienced either an uncaring dentist, excessive pain, or been told dental horror stories by family or friends.
Dental phobia is essentially an "extreme" version of dental fear. Where people with dental fear will experience their fear as they approach the dental office or enter the treatment room, dental phobia can cause people to experience an extreme "fight-or-flight" physical response just to the mention of a dentist or dental procedure.
Help For Those Suffering with Dental Phobia and Dental Fear
While the most extreme cases of dental phobia require special treatment because they cannot bring themselves to even approach a dental office, there is an excellent option for those fears.
Sedation Dentistry
Oral sedation dentistry uses pills to induce either a state of relaxation or sleep. During sedation, we monitor vital signs and the level of oxygen in the blood continuously with sophisticated equipment designed for this purpose. We are also equipped with a heart defibrillator, supplementary oxygen and reversal drugs and have been trained in their use.
Most clients are satisfied with being in a deeply relaxed state. You will be able to experience your entire procedure in a state of dreamy comfort while still being conscious and able to respond to our dental team. Because you are unaware of the passing of time, even the most complicated procedures can be done in what will seem only a matter of minutes.Sedation dentistry is also great for people who have long neglected their teeth and need a great deal of dental work. With sedation dentistry, all required dental care can often be taken care of in one or two sessions.
