With the help of a calming, safe sedative, you can achieve the healthy smile you need to start 2018 off on the right foot. Learn more in this week\u2019s blog post!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Why Might Patients Need Sedation Dentistry?<\/h2>\n<p>As mentioned above, there are some patients that may need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentalgroupwest.com\/sedation-dentistry.html\">sedation dentistry<\/a> because they are scared to go to the dentist. Just because you have a fear of visiting a dental practice, doesn\u2019t mean that your smile doesn\u2019t need the professional care to stay strong over the years.<\/p>\n<p>Dental fear can affect patients at any age and we\u2019re here to help both younger and older patients\u2014despite their reasoning. We can provide the appropriate sedative to help any patient relax. Sedation is also great for patients that may have disabilities or special needs that could interfere with their dental treatment. You could be the perfect candidate for sedation dentistry if you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cannot tolerate even low amounts of pain and have extensive dental work to complete.<\/li>\n<li>Have trouble sitting in the dental chair for extended periods of time.<\/li>\n<li>Have sensitive teeth and gums.<\/li>\n<li>Have a reactive gag reflex.<\/li>\n<li>Need to receive multiple dental treatments and procedures.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t feel like local anesthesia works for you when getting dental work done.<\/li>\n<li>Are dealing with other health issues like neck or back pain that may be uncomfortable to sit with.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Types of Sedation Are Available?<\/h2>\n<h3>Nitrous Oxide<\/h3>\n<p>You may have heard of this form of sedation as \u201claughing gas.\u201d Many patients that have mild dental anxiety rely on this type of sedation because it\u2019s able to be safely monitored by our dentists, light, and effective. You can arrive at your appointment alone and leave with out an escort as soon as the effects of the nitrous oxide wears off.<\/p>\n<h3>Oral Conscious Sedation<\/h3>\n<p>Oral conscious sedation is a bit stronger than laughing gas. This level of sedation is for patients with a more intense fear of dental treatments or patients that need multiple dental treatments to be completed in a single appointment. You\u2019ll simply drink your sedative and drift off into a drowsy cloud of comfort.<\/p>\n<p>In most cases, our patients tend to drift off into a peaceful nap while they receive their dental care, but there are still some that stay completely conscious and groggy throughout the appointment. Because it does take time for the sedative to wear off, you\u2019ll need an escort to take you home after your visit.<\/p>\n<h3>IV Sedation<\/h3>\n<p>Not too many dentists offer IV sedation, but it\u2019s perfect for patients that have extensive dental work, a critical procedure, or extreme dental fear. Your dentist will administer your sedative through an IV and you\u2019ll be completely asleep throughout your treatment, allowing your dentist to closely control your level of sedation and make sure that you\u2019re comfortable. After your appointment, you\u2019ll need a ride home and a friend or family member to care for you for a few hours at home.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, you\u2019ll need a practice that supports you through and through very appointment so that your smile can stay healthy\u2014especially if you\u2019re fearful of the dentist.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>About Our Office<\/h2>\n<p>Here at Dental Group West, we know that dental anxiety and fear of discomfort can keep many patients from receiving necessary care.
