Let Sedation Dentistry Make Your Next Dental Experience Comfortable and Stress-Free

Do you avoid the dentist because it makes you fearful or anxious? Do you find it hard to sit still during long treatments? These are just a few reasons patients in the Mt. Prospect, Illinois, area ask Dr. Kidonakis and our team here at Smile Today Dental about sedation dentistry options. We are happy to offer options, which include nitrous oxide and conscious sedation. Here are some situations where dental sedation can help the next time you visit the dentist.

Allows For A Faster Appointment

Will dental sedation speed up your dental appointment? In some cases, it actually will! But in most cases, it will just make the appointment seem quicker. If you are scheduled for a lengthy procedure or need to have multiple procedures done within a single appointment, dental sedation will help it go by faster. This is very helpful if you find that you get restless and less relaxed as a dental appointment goes on. With dental sedation, you will feel relaxed throughout, and you may even fall asleep. Before you know it, your appointment will be over. And, because you will remain relaxed and still, Dr. Kidonakis will be able to work much faster because they will not need to stop to give you a break from the chair.

You Won’t Need To Miss A Preventive Dental Appointment Again

It is recommended by the American Dental Association that you see a dentist twice a year, once every six months, for a teeth cleaning and oral examination. These appointments are critical to your oral health. Even if you are brushing and flossing regularly at home, there are areas of your mouth that cannot be cleaned as well as they should be. Seeing a dentist twice a year allows any built-up plaque to be removed before it turns into tartar, which leads to decay and oral disease. In addition, an oral examination allows your Mt. Prospect, Illinois dentist, to detect any signs of developing oral disease at its earliest stage so that treatment can be recommended.

If you have dental anxiety or fear, you may routinely miss these appointments or never schedule them in the first place. Sedation dentistry can help with your dental anxiety and fear. Your dental experience will be comfortable and stress-free. You’ll never feel the need to miss a preventive dental appointment again due to dental fear or anxiety.

Helps With Gag Reflex

Do you have a strong gag reflex that rears its ugly head as the dentist sticks instruments in your mouth? This can make visits to the dentist embarrassing and difficult. If you do have a strong gag reflex, sedation dentistry can help. If your dentist offers sedation dentistry, it can really help you relax enough to the point where it will reduce how strong your gag reflex is. This makes the dental appointment more comfortable and less embarrassing for you and makes it easier for your dentist to do the required work without worrying about triggering your gag reflex.
