For many people a visit to the dentist causes extreme anxiety. This anxiety can be elevated and cause health issues like high blood pressure. But with today’s modern medicine, patients should not fear the dentist anymore. Sedation dentistry is a popular way to treat patients and may be a covered benefit with dental benefit carriers when major dental procedures are performed.
There are many advantages to the patient and to the dental team for performing sedation dentistry. These benefits include:
- Less emotional and physical stress
- Increased comfort
- Reduced gag reflex
- Little to no memory of the treatment
- Time saving – fewer appointments needed
