If a person struggles with discomfort during dental visits, even when they just go in for a routine dental exam, it can make them more likely to avoid the dentist’s office altogether. This is a problem, because without regular preventive care, you can be more vulnerable to problems like cavities and gum disease. You can also be more likely to overlook a problem, until it requires a more involved procedure. To make those anxious patients feel at ease, your Conroe, TX dentist is able to provide a more relaxing experience with dental sedation. 

Struggle With Dental Anxiety? We Can Work With You To Help You Stay Relaxed

Dental sedation can help anxious patients relax during a procedure. An oral sedative taken before your appointment will help you stay conscious, but calm throughout your time in the dentist’s chair. Your dentist can also provide IV sedation, which also allows you to remain conscious. These are recommended for those who suffer anxiety, as it can allow them to stay aware of what is happening, but at ease. Patients who elect to receive sedation will need to have someone available to give them a ride home after their visit, as the effects of the sedation can linger.

Make Sure Your Unease Does Not Cause You To Miss Out On Important Dental Services

Missing out on dental services because of anxiety will make you more likely to suffer distressing dental issues. For example, if you have a problem with a toothache that you seem unable to move past, you could be dealing with a cavity that requires a root canal treatment. If the procedure is not performed, that decay can eventually create upsetting complications.
