Your Ticket to Stress-Free Dental Procedures with Conscious Sedation Dentistry
If you’re among the millions of people who suffer from dental anxiety, now you can experience stress-free dental visits through conscious sedation dentistry. There’s no need for you to struggle through your dental procedures. At the Office of Maegan Elam, DDS & Associates, Bedford, Texas, we offer safe and effective dental sedation options suited to your individual needs.
Dental Anxiety Treatment Options
Some people have no trouble getting dental treatments, while others become anxious at the mere thought of visiting a dentist. Through conscious sedation dentistry, Dr. Maegan Elam can equally cater to all of our patients’ needs. If you have dental phobia, you can partake in our dental anxiety treatment options to get the dental services you need. These options are the use of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation.
Nitrous oxide is a mild sedative to relieve stress and anxiety during dental treatments. It’s administered through a small mask that is placed over your nose. As you inhale the gas, you begin to relax, making it easier to endure your treatment. It’s also suitable for minimizing gagging during a dental procedure. As the effects of the gas wear off quickly, you’ll be able to drive yourself home after the treatment.
For oral sedation, Dr. Elam will prescribe a pill that you can take just before your dental appointment to help you relax during your procedure. You will require a driver to and from your dental appointment.
Who can Benefit from Conscious Sedation Dentistry?
Conscious sedation dentistry can benefit people:
- who suffer stress, fear, or anxiety over dental visits
- who gag a lot during dental treatments
- who undergo multiple same-day treatments
- who have trouble sitting through a lengthy dental procedure
Dental care is an essential need. Conscious sedation dentistry is designed to help people with dental phobia have a more pleasant, relaxed dental experience. Dental sedation makes it possible to get the treatments you need with as little stress, anxiety, and fear as possible.
