Have you been avoiding going to the dentist, or taking your child to the dentist due to an intense fear of needles? You’re not alone! Over 30 million Americans refuse to go the dentist because they are terrified of needles. Due to this predominant fear, dental offices have started to use techniques that will alleviate your fears. Sedation dentistry is one of those unique tools that can help alleviate your dental fears and anxieties.

Sedation dentistry comes in two forms at Hudson Oaks Family Dentistry. Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation are the two options available to you. They are safe, effective and easy to administer. They both help you relax and feel calm in the dental chair during your treatment. Often times patients share that they don’t even remember getting treated by the dentist.

Here are 3 signs that you might need to request the sedation dentistry

1. If you’ve endured a toothache for a long period of time because you’re terrified to go to the dentist because the dentist might need to give you an injection, it’s time to find a dentist that employs a sedation dentistry method.
2. If your child refuses to get out the car to enter the dentist office because they’re afraid they might need a shot, it’s time to find a dentist that employs a sedation dentistry method.
3. If your worst dreams include anything related to a dentist’s office, it’s time to find a dentist that employs a sedation dentistry method.
