Five Reasons to Consider Sedation Dentistry?

Valley Dental Practice like to keep our patients informed of the latest techniques and all their options when visiting the dentist. One of the services not everyone knows about is sedation dentistry. It’s pretty much what it sounds like: for any patient who is nervous about going to the dentist for one reason or another, we can offer sedation during your regular cleaning or other procedure to help you relax.

Here are five great reasons to consider sedation dentistry:

Reduce Your Gag Reflex

A mild sedative can reduce your gag reflex, making dental cleanings or procedures a much more comfortable experience.

Allows You to Get a Number of Procedures Out of the Way Quickly

Without sedation, there is only so much dentistry we can do in a single visit. It can be exhausting and, if you are nervous at the dentist, unpleasant. With sedation dentistry, however, patients may report a calm feeling in the dentist chair and may not be able to remember the procedure at all.

Less Pain

There are a lot of nerves and blood vessels in your face and mouth. For some people who are naturally more sensitive to having their gums and teeth cleaned, the dentist visit can be a very painful experience. Sedation dentistry can reduce the amount of pain you experience.

Reduces Anxiety

AnxietyFor some people, anxiety about going to the dentist is very real. It can be so bad that some people refuse to get dental care at all. Sedation dentistry is one of the ways to relieve the worst of anxiety.

No Lasting Side Effects

For most patients, the dentist’s careful and comfortable techniques are enough to reassure them and relieve any anxiety. For those patients who need a little more help, however, sedation dentistry is a great option that has no lasting side effects, so your every trip to the dentist can be as stress-free as possible.
