Millions of people get so worked up about dental appointments that they skip the dentist entirely. At name of practice we understand that dental anxiety is a very real thing, and that for some people it’s more like dental phobia. But skipping the dentist is not a good idea. Sedation dentistry may be just what they need.
Survey after survey tells us how common fear of the dentist is. Anywhere from nine to twenty percent of adult Americans cope with it to one degree or another! Many of them exhibit what they call avoidance behavior: they’ll do just about anything to avoid a dentist appointment.
There are lots of reasons why people have dental anxiety or phobia. The more common ones include:
- Fear of pain
- Fear of injections
- Fear of side effects
- Fear of helplessness, or loss of control
If you have dental anxiety or phobia, a big first step is talking with us about your concerns. The trouble with skipping the dentist entirely, of course, is that it puts your dental health at risk. We want you to have healthy teeth and gums. Just as important is the connection between dental health and overall health.
One solution to this is sedation dentistry. We offer nitrous oxide. Commonly known as laughing gas, it works quickly, wears off quickly, and is very effective in putting you at ease.
