Sedation Dentistry Offers Anxiety-Free Treatments

Do you desperately need dental work, but previous bad experiences keep you from making an appointment? Do you require multiple, extensive procedures, but the idea of sitting in the dental chair makes you apprehensive? Do you suffer from severe dental phobias?

You are not alone.

It’s been estimated that nearly 75% of adults in the United States suffer from some form of dental fear. Approximately 10 percent of American adults experience dental phobias—to the degree that they avoid to going to the dentist at all.

At Gentle Dental Care, we understand your apprehension. We want to help each and every patient relax for their treatments. You not only have a compassionate dentist and friendly dental team to help put you at ease, you also have a variety of sedation dentistry options.

Nitrous Oxide: If you need a little help relaxing, then we can give you nitrous oxide. This is safe, effective way to put you at ease while we give you periodontal therapy, or do some restorative dentistry.

Oral Conscious Sedation: Dr. Dallmann can give you a prescribed sedative, which you will take one hour before your appointment. Oral conscious sedation allows you to remain aware enough to offer responses. Most patients don’t remember their dental visits at all!

IV Sedation: Intravenous sedation is when Dr. Dallmann administers sedatives through an IV. A needle is inserted into your hand and a tube added. Once the medicine is released, you’ll fall into deep and total relaxation. IV sedation is a great sedation dentistry option for patients who have severe anxiety or who need multiple treatments.
