The Cure For Dental Phobia

Sedation Dentistry Makes Pain-Free Treatment a Reality.

Are you afraid to go to the dentist? If you are, you are definitely not alone. Estimates say up to 75% of adults in America thats three-quarters of the public admit to at least some fear of the dentists chair. And somewhere between five and ten percent of people are so fearful, they dont go to the dentist unless and until something drastic happens. This can make the fear factor even worse, since, since skipping regular dental care only increases the chance that something drastic will happen that requires the kind of complex treatment that people fear in the first place. It becomes a vicious cycle.

Whether your fear level is emergencies-only high or a bit lower on the scale, if being afraid of the dentist is an issue for you, chances are youre not planning on considering cosmetic dentistry anytime soon. The last thing most people who fear the dentist want to do is volunteer to spend more time in the chair, even if the result will be a better smile and an improved self-image. So they give up on the possibility of beautiful, white, dazzling teeth and settle for whatever teeth they have, even if their smile is less than perfect.

The good news is, they dont have to settle anymore.

Todays cosmetic dentistry procedures are often performed easily and painlessly with the aid of various types of sedation. And sedation dentistry is so effective at blocking pain and easing stress, it can actually make a visit to the dentist a relaxing experience, even for the most fearful patients.

Experienced sedation dentists choose among several different methods to treat patients in comfort. Patients are able to sit back and relax and possibly even sleep through their appointments since the dentist tailors the level of sedation given to each patients specific needs. Then, while a patient is sedated, dentists are often able to complete more than one or even several procedures during the course of a single visit. So not only is the patients fear addressed, theyre also able to save time and cut down on the total number of visits necessary to restore their teeth to health and beauty.

Afterwards, patients usually have little or no memory of the procedures. They simply go home with a vastly improved, with virtually no pain and no memory of any discomfort. Its like going to sleep and waking up with the smile of their dreams.
