While looking through your monthly calendar, you realize you have an upcoming dentist appointment. Does the thought of sitting in a treatment chair instantly fill you with dread? You\u2019re not alone. Although it\u2019s normal to have these worries, they shouldn\u2019t prevent you from seeking much-needed dental care. Luckily, there\u2019s a way to make your visits easygoing and pain-free: oral conscious sedation in St. Johns! Read on to learn which signs indicate you could benefit from this method of sedation dentistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

You Feel Extremely Anxious About Visiting Your Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you can imagine, being afraid of the dentist is one of the most common reasons why people consider sedation dentistry<\/a>. In fact, an estimated 36% of Americans suffer from dental anxiety. While this fear alone isn\u2019t necessarily a cause for concern, it\u2019s an issue if it prevents you from attending your routine checkups and cleanings. Fortunately, oral conscious sedation may be an excellent option for you. It\u2019s not as overwhelming as IV sedation, leaving you aware enough that you can respond if needed. However, you\u2019ll be sedated enough that you won\u2019t notice pain or any unsettling sounds.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Find Dental Work Painful<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

People with sensitive teeth and gums might be tempted to brush off their dentist appointments because they find it painful. Does that sound like you? Ask your dentist about oral conscious sedation! Not only will it help make these visits less anxiety-inducing, but pain-free as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Usually Have an Uncomfortable Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Visiting the dentist can be uncomfortable solely because of the sensory experiences. Maybe you don\u2019t like the loud drill or the smell of the gloves. You may even just have a strong gag reflex! Whatever the case is, oral conscious sedation is an excellent tool to consider. It can reduce your awareness of these sensations and help you have an enjoyable dental experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Want to Be Sedated but Not Fully Knocked Out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might be surprised to learn that there are varying levels of dental sedation. Depending on the method you choose, you can be awake or fully unconscious. Oral conscious sedation typically falls somewhere in the middle, meaning you\u2019ll be awake but relaxed and groggy. It\u2019s a great choice for patients with a fear of needles or who don\u2019t want to be knocked out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Plan to Have a Long Procedure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many people can tolerate a bit of discomfort for a short appointment. However, you may feel nervous about the prolonged pain associated with a more complex or invasive procedure. If you know you\u2019re undergoing a longer treatment, you can ask your dentist about oral conscious sedation to keep you calm throughout your visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you relate to any of these signs? If so, don\u2019t hesitate to ask your dentist about oral conscious sedation. They\u2019ll do everything possible to make your visit comfortable and smooth sailing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
