Afraid of the Dentist? 5 Ways to Reduce Dental Anxiety

dental anxiety treatment Mechanicsville

If you tense up just thinking about going to the dentist, you may benefit from sedation dentistry offered by St. Mary’s Dental in Mechanicsville.

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 two 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.

Remember, it is essential that you do not compromise your dental health by skipping the dentist. Sedation dentistry from St. Mary’s Dental in Mechanicsville may be just for you. Our services include general and family dentistry. Schedule an appointment today!
