Afraid of the Dentist? 5 Ways to Reduce Dental Anxiety - General and Cosmetic Dentistry

dental anxiety treatment Niceville

If you tense up just thinking about going to the dentist, you may benefit from sedation dentistry offered by Smileology in Niceville and Miramar Beach.

Millions of Americans stress out when they have to see the dentist. It is referred to as dental anxiety. There is a more severe form, too, called dental phobia. In both, some people would rather skip the dentist altogether than sit down for a checkup. The problem with that, of course, is it puts their dental health at risk.

Whatever the cause, sedation dentistry has helped millions of people get through their appointments.

We offer:

Nitrous Oxide. You also know this as laughing gas. Nitrous oxide has been used in dentistry for more than a century and is highly effective.
Oral conscious sedation. You take a sedative an hour or so before the appointment. You won't sleep, but will be in a deeply relaxed state. When the appointment is over, someone will have to drive you home.
IV Sedation. As the name suggests, this is a sedative that is administered intravenously. You won't sleep with this on, either, but will be in a deeply relaxed state. You'll need an escort for a ride here and back.
General anesthesia. This is the strongest type there is, and it puts you completely out. You will need a ride for this one.
