How oral sedation is one of the most effective methods for Greenville, SC area residents who have dental anxiety

Guests who stress about visiting the dentist may feel like they are forced to make a decision between their health and their state of mind. For many people, the mere thought of visiting the dentist can evoke fear and anxiety that can be difficult to handle. With oral sedation from Palmer Distinctive Dentistry, you can take the fear out of visiting with the dentist.

Your oral health is a vital component of your overall wellbeing, and so is your mental health. Dental fear can put your oral health at risk, but can also have a huge impact on your mental and physical wellbeing. At Palmer Distinctive Dentistry, we believe in holistic dental care, which focuses on the connection between oral health and the rest of the body. This focus on integrated health affects everything we do in our office. In addition to using safe materials and promoting healthy living, we offer oral sedation as a way to remove the stress out of visiting the dentist and provide you with the care you need and deserve.

Some of the many benefits of oral sedation dentistry include:

• Allows nervous or anxious guests to receive necessary dental care
• Makes sitting in the dentist’s chair tolerable for guests who are facing lengthy procedures
• Can help suppress a strong or overactive gag reflex
• Allows us to complete more dental work in a single appointment
• Helps guests who may have low pain tolerance or sensitive teeth

Oral sedation is one of the most widely chosen and effective methods of sedation. It is important to let us know if you are currently taking any medications, or if you have any medical conditions, so we can make sure that there will be no adverse reactions.

Guests who opt for oral sedation will need to secure transportation to and from their procedure. While the medication is wearing off, guests will be groggy or sleepy and are unable to operate a vehicle. With oral sedation, you will still be conscious and able to respond to basic requests during your procedure. Most people have little to no memory of the appointment.
