You Deserve a Dental Visit That Feels Calm, Safe, and Stress-Free
We know that going to the dentist can be frightening for some individuals. It’s called dental phobia, and it’s something millions of Americans experience. At our practice, we use sedation to help our patients feel anxiety-free and relaxed during their treatment. If you suffer from dental phobia, we may recommend one of several types of sedation to help you feel calm, comfortable, and relaxed during treatment.
With sedation dentistry, you get more effective treatment without added stress or discomfort. Dr. Morrison will discuss the possibility of sedation for helping manage your dental anxiety after reviewing your medical history and having you communicate your concerns. The end result of this will be to help create an environment where you feel comfortable and are able to receive the dental treatment you need
Types of Sedation Dentistry Available
At Forney Family Dentistry & Orthodontics, several forms of sedation dentistry may be recommended depending on the patient’s needs, health history, and the type of treatment being performed. The most common options include:
- General Anesthesia — General anesthesia allows patients to sleep comfortably through complex or lengthy dental procedures. Ideal for those with severe anxiety, special needs, or extensive treatment requiring a completely relaxed state.
- IV Conscious Sedation — IV conscious sedation can provide a comfortable, relaxed experience while you receive the dental care you need.
- Nitrous Oxide Sedation — Nitrous oxide sedation is a gentle option that helps patients relax during a dental procedure. This can be especially helpful to both children and adults with dental anxiety.
No matter your past dental experience, we are confident that your visit here at Forney Family Dentistry & Orthodontics will be comfortable and anxiety-free. If you suffer from dental anxiety, please give us a call or email us. We are confident we have a solution that will relieve you of dental anxiety.
