Fear of the dentist, the most common phobia
Your teeth are one of the first things people see when they meet you. We like to think that we look people in the eyes when we meet them or are talking to them but the truth is 75% of people look at your mouth rather than your eyes. The difference between someone with good teeth and a nice smile and bad teeth is night and day. Unfortunately many people out there have let their teeth and smiles loose their sparkle because they are afraid of the dentist. The fear of the dentist is one of the most common fears people have along with a fear of public speaking. With sedation dentistry there is no reason for anyone to let their teeth and smile dwindle out of fear. Sedation dentistry allows the patient multiple methods to ensure they are in total comfort during their dentist appointment. You may be a candidate for sedation dentistry if you have not had dental treatment in 2 years or more, have a traumatic dental experience in your past, have sensitive teeth or have adverse reactions to standard numbing or trouble getting numb. Ask your dentist whether oral sedation, IV sedation or nitrous oxide is the right treatment for you. You can overcome your fear of the dentist and have the smile and impression you have always dreamed of with the simple benefits of sedation dentistry.
