Trained Sedation Dentist
We all fear at least one thing. Don’t act like you’re a super tough guy or girl about everything. Some of us are scared of insects, others are frightened of clowns. Some people are even scared of inanimate objects. Hey, we’re not here to judge. If you find yourself afraid of a dental appointment, we understand. It makes sense – there are all sorts of sights, sounds and even smells that can trigger some sort of fear in any patient. The mouth is a very sensitive area for some people, but it should be understood that because it is so fragile, it needs the necessary treatment to ensure its health and stability for years to come. In order to combat any patient’s dental fear, we offer excellent sedation dentistry services that are designed with your comfort in mind. Opting out of dental treatment is a very un-smart decision for any patient to make. Infections and other diseases left untreated can leave your mouth’s health hanging in the balance. Dr. Bruce Carter and his team of pros in Lawrenceville, GA are here to help you get the most out of your dental procedure without any fear, as Dr. Bruce Carter is a trained sedation dentist.
Why Is Sedation Dentistry Necessary?
Sedation dentistry was designed for patients who are a little less excited about a dental visit. It’s nothing to be ashamed about, we all have legitimate fears. It just so happens that some people are scared to go to the dentist. There are ways to deal with enduring a dental procedure, and that’s through sedation dentistry. This method of dentistry works wonders for many patients. Most patients agree that it helped them through many procedures and makes it much easier to choose dental treatment instead of opting out.
In addition to people who suffer from some sort of dental anxiety, sedation dentistry can be used for people with the following:
- A low threshold for pain
- Busy body in the dental chair (can’t sit still)
- Teeth sensitivity
- Any kind of uncomfortable gag reflex
- A patient needing a major dental overhaul
Choosing the alternative (forgoing any dental treatment) is one of the worst dental decisions any patient can make. Forgoing treatment can result in many dental problems down the road, including infections that can bring on the need for root canal treatment.
