If\nthe thought of receiving dental care causes anxiety or phobia for you, then\nsetting an appointment is not as simple as it may appear on the surface. You\u2019re\nnot alone, though, as over 75% of Americans deal with dental anxiety.\nThankfully, with the help of a sedation dentist in Dublin, there\u2019s a way to\nreceive the care you need in a comfortable manner. Read on to learn more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is Sedation Dentistry for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While up to \u00be of the American populace suffer from some form\nof dental anxiety, studies show that 20% have the more acute issue of dental\nphobia. The difference is that \u2018phobia\u2019 is an intense fear, which often is the\nresult of a bad experience in the past, while anxiety represents a state of\nnervousness or worry. With sedation dentistry, either issue can be addressed so\nthat you don\u2019t have to miss out on the vital care you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the other scenarios that sedation dentistry\ncan be helpful in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Multiple procedures need to be performed at one\nvisit<\/li><li>Have a strong gag reflex<\/li><li>Fear of needles<\/li><li>Have physical disabilities<\/li><li>Don\u2019t respond well to Novocain (numbing\nmedication)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Different Types of Sedation Dentistry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common form of sedation dentistry is nitrous oxide,\nwhich is a mild sedative gas that is breathed through a mask during treatment. The\nfast-acting medication creates a jovial mood, with its effects dissipating soon\nafter it has been discontinued. Therefore, you\u2019ll be able to drive yourself\nhome afterwards without any impairment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more acute cases of anxiety or phobia, your dentist may\nrecommend oral sedation. You\u2019ll be given a pill to take about an hour before\nyour appointment, so that by the time your treatment starts, you\u2019ll already be calm\nand relaxed. Because of the strength of the medication, it will take several\nhours after your procedure has concluded for the effects to wear-off. For your\nsafety, you\u2019ll need to have someone else drive you around for the rest of the day.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Door is Open for Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve been missing out on the valuable dental care you\nneed because of anxiety or phobia, then you no longer have to place your oral\nhealth at risk. By taking advantage of sedation dentistry and receiving\nconsistent dental care, you\u2019ll have a better chance of avoiding complex issues\nlike gum disease, tooth loss and dental emergencies.
