Sedation Dentistry
Do you or someone in your family avoid dental visits due to fear or excessive anxiety? Have you missed checkups, dealt with tooth pain or other symptoms, or failed to schedule needed fillings, crowns, or other treatments because you simply can't stand the thought of spending time in the dental chair?
You and 145 million North Americans have one thing in common: you are afraid of going to the dentist.
Sedation Dentistry is the practice of administering mild anti-anxiety/sedative medications, which help patients relax while staying conscious during procedures. It is a very safe way to take the anxiety out of receiving dental work. We normally provide nitrous oxide gas either separately or in conjunction with other medications as well. Dr. Green and his team will review your medical history and the procedures with you prior to your appointment to determine the best approach for you.
With Sedation Dentistry, you no longer have to suffer from Dental Anxiety! You can stay calm, comfortable and in control with Conscious Sedation. You are a candidate for Conscious Sedation if:
- You have a busy schedule and the treatment can be completed in one or two visits
- You start to get anxious when someone even mentions "The Dentist"
- Previous traumatic dental experiences
- Bad gag reflex
- Complex dental problems
- A fear of needles and shots
- A hatred of noises, smells, and tastes associated with dental care
- Embarrassment about your teeth
