What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is a fantastic solution for the thousands of individuals who suffer from dental anxiety. Dental anxiety can be an increased feeling of nervousness around a dental or medical setting, or develop into a phobia so strong that many might avoid the dentist despite being in dental discomfort.
Dental anxiety and dental phobia are such concerns that Dr. Miely and his team members strive to create the epitome of comfort for our patients at our Upper Arlington office, so we can provide as much help as possible to the patients that need them!
We are sedation experts, proudly providing three different levels of sedation. Patients who have had poor experiences in the past can discover a new kind of dentistry here. You can sit back, relax, and cut out anxiety and worry while you get the dental attention you need.
Benefits of Sedation Dentistry
There are several perks to pairing sedation dentistry with one of our other wonderful services. While helping those who might feel more nervous is one of the most common benefits, many patients can benefit from this procedure. A few of these benefits include:
- A More Relaxed Visit: Greatly decrease your dental anxiety when planning ahead with sedation dentistry.
- Lowered Sensitivity: Many who have trouble with their gag reflex during dental work can find their sensitivity lowered.
- Complementing Pain Relief: It is important to note that sedation dentistry is always paired with anesthetics, but has been shown to help their effectiveness.
- A Comfortable Experience: If you suffer from chronic muscle issues or have trouble sitting still for long periods of time, extensive dental work can be difficult. Sedation dentistry can help relax you, allowing more dental work to be completed in less time.
- Reduce Stress: Sedation dentistry can greatly reduce the risk of health complications (heart attack, stroke, etc.) in patients with extreme stress and anxiety responses to dental work.
Sedation Dentistry Options We Offer:
- Laughing Gas Sedation | Laughing gas is administered via a nasal mask during your visit. These patients feel relaxed during their visit, but the effects of the sedation will wear off immediately when the mask is removed.
- Oral Conscious Sedation | For patients with moderate dental anxiety, a simple pill taken shortly before your appointment may be the way to experience comfortable dentistry. With conscious sedation, you will remain awake, but in a state of deep relaxation.
- IV Sedation | This type of sedation is best for patients who require a more advanced kind of sedation. These patients can enjoy a deep sleeping or dreamlike state during their visit so they can receive any treatment they need.
