Sedation dentistry is often used during procedures that require an extensive amount of time in the treatment chair, and sedation is ideal for patients who exhibit dental phobia or have difficulty controlling their movements ( this include children). While sedation dentistry implies that patients are unconscious, this is usually not the case. Some forms of sedation dentistry simply alleviate anxiety or put patients in a sleep- like state, so little is felt or remembered about the dental procedure.
Dental Anxiety
It is estimated that approximately 30-40 million Americans avoid seeing the dentist because of dental anxiety or dental phobia (fear of dentist). People with dental anxiety have fears that are often greatly exaggerated and overwhelming. Various sedation dentistry techniques can be used to treat those who suffer from dental anxiety or dental phobia.
Severe Dental Phobia
People with severe dental phobia are terrified and panic- stricken when it comes time to see the dentist and they often avoid the dental appointment completely. Many of these patients put off dental treatment for years because of their fear of dentists, resulting in poor dental health. Many also lack self- confidence and feel insecure because of bad breath or an unattractive smile.
