Do people like going to the dentist? I was searching this on
Google and find out an obvious answer – no, they don’t. If I’m any good in my
calculation, 8 out of 10 people actually feel dread about going to their
dentist. There can be many reasons for this feeling of fear and disinterest. In
this post, you’ll know how sedation
dentistry Somerset NJ can be the best remedy if you feel anxious before
going to your dentist.
Causes of dental anxiety
There are some common reasons why people develop a dental
phobia in themselves. The most common reason is the anticipated pain. Patients
usually postpone any major treatments like dental implants for long and
finally go for it halfheartedly. This happens also because of the lack of
information they have regarding the treatment. Past or bad childhood dental
experiences can be the cause of dental fear as well. Some people are a bit
self-conscious about their smile and feel embarrassed to show to anyone.
There is no medicine that can help you overcome dental
anxiety but there is definitely sedation
dentistry that can help you relax during the treatment.

Nitrous Oxide:
also known as laughing gas is a safe and effective sedative method used greatly
by the dentists to relax their patients. It is used mostly for minor or mild
procedures such as filling and repairs.
Oral Sedation: this
is the second option that is used to take the patient into a drowsy state. This
is usually a pill that your dentist gives you about an hour before beginning a
major treatment such as dental implants
Somerset NJ.
Intravenous (IV)
Sedation: as the name suggests, IV sedation is administered into the body
of the patient through a vein. This is used in extreme cases of nervousness and
anxiety. This is used for long dental procedures and the patient goes in a
‘semi-awake’ or ‘semi-conscious’ state.
