Ah, the dentist. Just hearing the word might send shivers down your spine. Your palms get sweaty, your heart starts racing, and suddenly, you’re plotting an escape route from the waiting room.
Before you plan a daring escape, let’s discuss how Aurora Dental & Implant Clinic can make your dental visit feel like a relaxing day at the spa (without the cucumber slices, of course).
Why Are We So Anxious About the Dentist?
You’re not alone if the thought of a dental chair makes you want to run for the hills. Dental anxiety is incredibly common. In fact, about 36% of the population has some degree of fear when it comes to dental visits. What if we told you that you could relax through your appointment? Enter: Sedation dentistry!
What is Sedation Dentistry?
We’re not suggesting you bring your favourite pillow and blanket to the dentist (though, if that helps, we won’t judge!).
Sedation dentistry involves using medication to help you relax during your dental treatment. It’s like taking a mini holiday without leaving the dental chair. You’ll be awake, but in a state of utter relaxation, some patients even describe it as a dreamy, out-of-body experience.
Administered by a trained professional, this method ensures you’re in a deep state of relaxation. You’ll be responsive but blissfully unaware of the dental work being done. It’s like hitting the “fast forward” button on your appointment!
Why Choose Sedation?
Sedation isn’t just for those with dental anxiety. It’s a good choice if you feel pain easily, have a strong gag reflex, or need a long treatment. Plus, it makes the time fly by, you’ll be in and out before you know it!
What to Expect Before, During and After Sedation
Before your appointment, you’ll have a FREE Sedation consultation where we will discuss your health history and decide which option is best for you. On the day of your visit, you’ll want to wear comfy clothes. After your procedure, you’ll need a chaperone to take you home and stay with you for the next 24 hours. Then, kick back, relax and let that healthy smile shine!
A Dreamy Dental Experience Awaits!
Sedation dentistry is like a magic wand that turns a nerve-wracking dental visit into a serene, stress-free experience. At Aurora Dental, we’re here to make sure your time with us is as comfortable as possible, so you can leave with a smile that’s not just beautiful but confident too.
