If you tense up just thinking about going to the dentist, you may benefit from sedation dentistry offered by The Sugar House Dentist in Salt Lake City.
Millions of Americans stress out when they have to see the dentist. It is referred to as dental anxiety. There is a more severe form, too, called dental phobia. In both, some people would rather skip the dentist altogether, rather than sit down for a checkup. The problem with that, of course, is it puts their dental health at risk.
There are lots of reasons why people develop anxiety or phobia over dental care. It often stems from a bad experience they had with a dentist as a kid. Fear of pain may be involved, as well as a fear of anesthesia and its possible side effects.
Whatever the cause, sedation dentistry has helped millions of people get through their appointments.
We offer two types:
- Nitrous Oxide: You also know this as laughing gas. Nitrous oxide has been used in dentistry for more than a century and is highly effective.
- Oral Conscious Sedation: You take a sedative an hour or so before the appointment. You won’t sleep, but will be in a deeply relaxed state. When the appointment is over, someone will have to drive you home.
Whatever your issue is, it is essential that you do not compromise your dental health by skipping the dentist. Sedation dentistry from The Sugar House Dentist in Salt Lake City may be just for you. Patients from Millcreek and Holladay also come to us for complete family and restorative dentistry. Contact us today!
