Overcome Your Fear of the Dentist
Do you feel strong anxiety on the thought of visiting the dentist? Well, you are not the only one. Dental anxiety is considered a big problem by many people, often making them forego necessary medications. The unfortunate thing is that avoiding routine check-ups only makes small dental problems go unchecked into bigger issues over time.
Port Orange Family Dentistry recognizes your fears and, to help put you at ease, we offer a sedation dentistry option that can help you relax throughout your dental visit. You will feel at ease and allow us to take care of your oral health without thinking about anything else, giving you and us a happy and stress-free journey.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is administered by medications which would induce relaxation in patients during dental procedures. Depending on the type of sedation, one may remain conscious but in deep relaxation all the way through the procedure, or even fall fast asleep. It is probably going to be anxiety-free because one may feel as if the procedure is over before one is able to know it. There are different kinds of sedation available:
- Oral Sedation: Just a single pill is sufficient for inducing relaxation just previous to the procedure.
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): It is a delightful and safe as well as mild variety of sedatives providing a calming effect.
- IV Sedation: This form of sedation is carried out through vein infusion, resulting in a much stronger level of relaxation and inducing the kind of sleep-most chaos- for really complex treatment.
Our team will work with you to determine which sedation option is great for you based on needs and requirements for procedures.
