If you let unease about smile care keep you from scheduling services, you can let problems worsen and become more severe. Letting poor periodontal health remain untreated can have serious consequences, as an infection can lead to problems with tissue damage that worsen until tooth loss results. You also need to worry about how bacteria on the roots of your spread can travel and create problems in other areas, which can have a significant effect on your health. Learning more about what care from a specialist can do for you, and how your time in the dentist’s chair can be made more comfortable, can help you commit to treatment.
There are different options for dental sedation that are available to you based on your needs and concerns about treatment. Both nitrous oxide and oral sedatives offer relief throughout care. With nitrous oxide, you can enjoy continued relief throughout your procedure, and the effects can fade quickly enough to let you safely return to your daily plans after your appointment. With an oral sedative, you can enjoy more potent relief, but the effects of this type of sedation last longer.
Sedation is not all that we can offer to make your care easier. By providing care that relies on laser tools, we can make treatments that are more conservative by offering greater precision and more protection for surrounding tissues. This approach can also limit bleeding and remove the need for suturing to support healing.
Through dental sedation, we can make your time in treatment easier. This can be an important resource for those who worry about oral health services, as it can help them feel at ease while important services take place.
