Though not many people would say their favorite past time is visiting the dentist, most can do it without much of a problem, when the need arises. Unfortunately, there are others that have an all-consuming fear of visiting the dentist. For these people, a dental visit can invoke a panic attack. They are absolutely terrified to visit the dentist and would rather deal with a throbbing toothache instead of having a dental procedure done to stop the pain. For these people, visiting a Sedation Dentist in Redding just might be the answer they’ve been looking for.
Sedation dentistry is a safe alternative that allows those who are too fearful to visit the dentist to cope with a dental visit that is pain-free and most importantly, anxiety-free. There are a few ways to practice sedation dentistry, but a simple way for both patient and dentist is through oral sedation. For this process to take place, the Sedation Dentist in Redding will give the patient a prescription for pills that are to be taken immediately before traveling to the dental office. It’s required to have a driver for the appointment and back home, as the prescription will begin to take effect fairly quickly. When arriving at the dental office, the patient will be given more medication just prior to the procedure is to begin. Usually within minutes the patient is totally relaxed and anxiety-free. The dentist is able to complete the treatment plan without a problem. Shorty after the procedure is complete, the drug will begin to wear off the patient and the patient will awaken with no anxiety, no sense of time passed and best of all, little to no memory of the dental procedure.
Sedation dentistry is perfect for the anxiety-ridden patient, as well as a patient having a large amount of dental work done at one time, saving both time and money. Waking up with no pain or memory of a long procedure helps take the fear out of the process. Don’t put off important dental work.
