Relieving Your Dental Anxiety At Smileology

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.

There are lots of reasons why people develop anxiety or phobia over dental care. It often stems from a bad experience they had with a dentist as a kid. Fear of pain may be involved, as well as a fear of anesthesics and possible side effects.

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

We offer four types:

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 in the arm. You won't sleep with this one, either, but will be in a deeply relaxed state. You'll need an escort for a ride here and back.
General Anesthesia. The strongest level available, this puts you completely under. It's administered in a hospital setting. We have agreements with some nearby.
