Do you have anxiety at the mere thought of visiting the dentist? Do you avoid calling your South SE Calgary Dentist to schedule needed dental treatment? Well, you’re not alone. Over 75% of adult dental patients experience some degree of dental anxiety that exhibits as mild nerves to complete paralysis and avoidance of all dental appointments. Regardless of where you are on the dental-anxiety spectrum – help is available so that dental appointments don’t have to be dreaded and avoided.
The dentists at South Trail Crossing Dental provide Sedation Dentistry to help patients relax throughout a dental appointment. For many patients the thought of having dental treatment conjures up nerves, tension, and fear – and the anxiety can be so bad that patients live with dental pain and tooth issues rather than face needed dental appointments. But Sedation Dentistry releases a patient from years of fear and apprehension and enables them to complete dental treatment in a relaxed, calm state. The practitioners at South Trail Crossing Dental are experienced in administering Oral Conscious Sedation medications along with Inhalation Conscious Sedation (nitrous). Medications used in Oral Conscious Sedation have a sedative effect that calms and relaxes the patient, and these medications also provide a slight amnesic effect, which means that patients remain conscious during dental treatment, but have no real recollection of events.
Sedation Dentistry in SE Calgary provides nervous dental patients with an opportunity to complete required treatment – when patients elect to take Sedation for Dental Appointments an extensive amount of dentistry can be completed in just one appointment due to the patient’s relaxed state. It’s been noted that years’ worth of dentistry can be completed in just a few appointments – making Sedation Dentistry a perfect option for patients who have made a career out of dodging dental appointments.
The dentists at South Trail Crossing Dental are General Dentists who focuses on providing options that help patients remain calm and comfortable during each and every dental appointment. We offer Sedation Dentistry to patients once it has been established that they are suitable candidates – contact this SE Calgary office for more information.
