5 Reasons to Consider Sedation Dentistry

Posted by PS Dental on Sep 13 2021, 03:23 AM

At PS Dental in Tigard, OR, we prefer to keep our patients up to date on the latest techniques and all of their options when it comes to visiting the dentist. Sedation dentistry is a particular medicine used to assist patients to relax during dental operations. These drugs include laughing gas, anesthetic, and nitrous oxide. It lowers their level of awareness, making them comfortable and tranquil. Sedation dentistry is frequently used by dentists to soothe worried patients before lengthy and serious treatments.

Here are five compelling reasons why you should choose sedation dentistry:

There Is No Pain or Anxiety

Most individuals associate dental anxiety with fear of pain. You won't have to worry about feeling any discomfort if you select sedation dentistry. If necessary, your dentist will numb your mouth with a local anesthetic before conducting any operation to ensure that you are fully pain-free.

Many dental treatments can be performed easily with the use of a local anesthetic, however, some patients are scared of needles. Mild sedatives can minimize needle anxiety and the pain associated with injections, whereas moderate drowsiness can remove injections by just eating a tablet.

Your Gag Reflex Can Be Alleviated With Sedation Dentistry

Some people have a more sensitive gag reflex than others, which can often interfere with dental work. This work may take longer than expected and may result in an unpleasant experience. Even milder forms of sedation will usually lower your gag reflex, allowing for a more pleasurable experience.

Complete All of the Tasks

When you experience feelings of fear and worry about going to the dentist, it's very easy to put off important dental work, which can have a detrimental influence on your long-term oral health. It is entirely feasible for relatively minor difficulties to grow into major ones over time. Sedation dentistry allows you to complete these operations in an acceptable amount of time. 

Speed of the Process

If the patient is relaxed during dental treatment, the dentist can complete the treatment appropriately and quickly. Sedation allows individuals to unwind from their tension or uneasiness.

Fewer Dentist Appointments

For more complex dental operations, you may need to schedule numerous appointments with your dentist without sedation. This is because there are no limitations on how much you can handle during a single dental operation. As a result, your dentist can complete everything in one session, eliminating the need for you to schedule a visit at a later date. This saves you time and reduces the number of visits to the dentist, which means you spend less money.
