If the mere suggestion of a dental appointment is enough to make you uneasy, keeping up with your health can be more difficult. Unfortunately, many people struggle with some degree of dental anxiety. The more this problem affects you, the more likely you are to avoid time in the dentist’s chair. When you delay appointments while actively concerned about your smile, you become vulnerable to complications that will ultimately require more involved restorative dental work. To help our patients who struggle with these negative feelings, we do offer help in the form of oral sedation.
Oral sedatives offer a convenient and effective solution for making appointments more comfortable. Whether you have anxiety around all care or just need help for an upcoming restorative dental procedure, we can provide this as an option. The sedative comes in the form of a pill that you can take before your visit. Its effects let you remain conscious and responsive while you stay relaxed throughout care. This can be a less costly solution as well as one that is easier for you to safely enjoy.
There are many ways in which we can make your future appointments with us more comfortable. One is to provide quality care; simply put, you can feel better booking treatment when you know your smile and dental function will be preserved. We also take care to connect with patients as individuals so that we can find the right ways to serve them over time. Whether you need to come in for routine care or worry about a tooth that is aching or damaged, we can provide a positive experience.
A more comfortable experience with smile care can make it easier to book future appointments and stay on top of your oral health. To learn how an oral sedative can help with this, call our Greenwood, IN dental office at (317) 535-7141.
