Overcoming Dental Anxiety And Discomfort

Experiencing dental anxiety or fear can prevent you from seeking the care you need, but putting
off seeking treatment can make the issues even worse. Many patients worry about discomfort, pain, or even just the sound of dental instruments, and these very valid fears can cause apprehension over getting the care they need.

These concerns can significantly impact your oral health over time. Other reasons include:

  • Fear of pain
  • Anxiety about dental procedures
  • Sensitivity to dental instruments
  • Previous negative experiences
  • Difficulty staying calm

Addressing these pain points is crucial for maintaining your dental health and overall well-being. Our commitment to your safety and comfort is always our top priority. We follow strict protocols and guidelines to ensure the safe administration of anesthesia, so that you remain safe and comfortable the entire time.

General anesthesia involves a complete loss of consciousness, ensuring that you feel no pain and have no memory of the procedure. Our trained professionals carefully monitor this option to guarantee your safety and comfort.

This type of anesthesia is ideal for:

  • Extensive dental work.
  • Procedures requiring a patient to be in the chair for an extended period.
  • Individuals with traumatic dental experiences in the past.
  • Patients with extreme phobias related to dental visits.

Opting for general anesthesia allows patients to undergo necessary dental treatments without the associated stress or discomfort, leading to a more positive overall experience.

Nitrous oxide, or “laughing gas,” is a mild sedative that helps you relax during your dental procedure. You inhale it through a small mask over your nose, and it takes effect quickly, making you feel calm and at ease. The effects wear off almost immediately after the mask is removed.

This option is perfect for:

  • Patients with mild to moderate anxiety.
  • Procedures that require you to be conscious and responsive.
  • Patients who have a mild gag reflex that could interfere with the procedure.
  • Individuals looking for a quick recovery post-treatment.

This option also allows you to drive home after your appointment, as the anesthesia quickly metabolizes in your system.
