Dental Treatments for Nervous Patients

It is Normal to be Nervous

Dental treatments can be nerve-wracking for some patients. If you suffer from dental anxiety, you’re not alone. According to the ADA, “approximately 30% of adults in the U.S. report feeling anxious about visiting the dentist.” If you’re one of those adults, there’s no need to worry. There are a variety of dental treatments that cater to patients with anxiety.

We are here to help you through the treatment, to explain in detail what we will do, how, and why. We will never hurt you, and will do our best to make your treatment as comfortable as possible.

Options Available

There are three common versions of dental bonding available to patients, resulting in similar results.

Oral sedation

Oral sedation involves taking a pill before your appointment to help you feel more relaxed during treatment. The pill is usually taken about an hour before your scheduled appointment time, and it will help you feel drowsy and calm during your visit. You will need someone to drive you home after your appointment because the effects of the medication can last up to 24 hours.

Sedation dentistry is a safe and effective way to help patients relax during dental procedures. There are several different types of sedation that can be used depending on the patient’s level of anxiety and the type of procedure being performed.

At our dental office, we understand that some patients may feel anxious about coming in for their appointment. Whether it’s a fear of the unknown, a bad experience in the past, or something else entirely, we want to do everything we can to make sure you feel comfortable and at ease. Here are some of the dental treatments we offer for patients who may be feeling nervous.

Also called “sleep dentistry,” this type of dental treatment involves using medications to help patients relax during their procedure. There are different types of sedation dentistry, and the type that’s right for you will depend on your level of anxiety and your medical history.
