For decades, those frightened of dental experiences had two choices – either face their fears head on, or avoid visiting the dentist at the risk of oral health. We don’t think you should have to do either. Today, there are more choices, allowing everyone the opportunity to receive dental care comfortably and keep their smile looking its best.
Sedation dentistry may incorporate a number of options, ranging from nitrous oxide to IV sedation. In our Greenville practice, we find the greatest benefit from oral sedation, which we use as our primary option. Using this method, we find that our guests have a much better dental experience, free of the anxiety that may have once kept them from receiving dental care. If you have avoided the dentist, or wonder if you might be a good candidate for oral sedation, read the following facts and feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
Sedation works!
With one pill, all of your fears and apprehension will disappear, making it easy to sit through any dental appointment. You will have no worries, and will feel no pain as we always provide local anesthetic when necessary.
Sedation is completely safe!
Before the procedure, all you do is take the sedative as prescribed by Dr. Palmer. The medication produces effects that last through your dental procedure, and beyond. The effects of oral sedatives wear off throughout the remainder of the day, but carry a few added benefits beyond the immediately recognized.
Additional benefits include:
Whether you choose to undergo treatment with sedation or not is completely your decision to make. There is no reason to hesitate to request sedation, as this form of treatment is widely offered for the wellbeing of those who experience dental anxiety and those who need extensive treatment.
