While Irving dentist Dr. Jerry Dunn and our team at Advanced Dental Care of Las Colinas strive to offer a comfortable experience for all our patients, we realize that fear or anxiety while visiting the dentist can affect a lot of patients anyway. For patients who need that extra comfort and relaxation during their visit with Dr. Dunn, we are pleased to offer sedation dentistry.
The reasons for patients' fear of the dentist can be numerous, but are usually due to a traumatic experience during their childhood. This overwhelming anxiety can cause one to avoid modern dental care, resulting in poor oral hygiene, tooth decay and even gum disease.
There are, however, some important things about sedation dentistry that Dr. Dunn wants you to know about:
- Sedation dentistry is not the same as being unconscious: you will be responsive and conscious throughout the entire procedure, but in a deeply relaxed state of mind.
- Because the sedation takes some time to wear off completely, it's crucial for you to have a friend or family member who can give you a ride to and from our office.
If you suffer from dental phobia, sedation dentistry may be the answer for you. At our convenient Irving office, we use state-of-the-art and effective technology. Please give us a call at (972) 506-9688 for more info about sedation industry, and we'll be more than happy to answer your questions.
