Dreading the Dentist? Why Sedation Dentistry Might Be Right For You
Small children aren’t the only ones scared of going to the dentist. Thousands and thousands of adult Americans avoid going to the dentist because of fear – or, more specifically, fear of pain. But, going to the dentist should never be painful, and you should never feel afraid to the point that you begin putting your dental health at risk. You deserve the best of treatment, the utmost in professional and personal care, and a decidedly pain-free experience – which is why you should consider sedation dentistry.
What is sedation dentistry?
Sedation dentistry (often referred to as “comfort dentistry” or “relaxation dentistry”) refers to the use of pharmacological agents to help calm and relax patients prior to and during a dental appointment.
