Did you know that more than 50% of adults skip dental appointments due to dental anxiety or fear? Unfortunately, ignoring dental problems doesn’t make them go away; it only makes them worse. At Green Dentistry, we understand how daunting a dental visit can be for some, and we’re here to help you feel relaxed, calm, and at ease throughout your appointments.
What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s a safe and effective way to alleviate anxiety and make your dental visit more comfortable. At Green Dentistry, we offer several types of sedation to meet your individual needs.
Our Natural Approach to Sedation
We believe in a holistic and gentle approach to sedation dentistry. Here are the options we provide:
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): This is a mild sedative inhaled through a small mask placed over your nose. It helps you relax while remaining fully conscious and responsive. The effects wear off quickly, allowing you to drive yourself home after your appointment.
- Iatrosedation: This method involves using calming communication techniques to help reduce anxiety. It’s a non-medical approach where we focus on creating a trusting and reassuring environment.
- Conscious Oral Sedation: This involves taking a prescribed sedative pill before your appointment. You’ll remain awake but deeply relaxed, and you may not remember much about the procedure afterward.
Benefits of Sedation Dentistry
- Reduced Anxiety: Sedation helps you feel calm and stress-free during your visit.
- Pain Management: It can enhance the effectiveness of local anesthetics, providing better pain control.
- Efficiency: With reduced anxiety, procedures can often be completed more quickly and efficiently.
- Comfort: You can undergo multiple treatments in one visit, minimizing the need for repeated appointments.
