What is Sedation Dentistry?

Have you ever feared going to the dentist for a routine checkup? Well believe it or not, a large number of Americans experience this and don’t visit the dentist regularly because of dental anxiety.

At Lubbock Periodontics, we offer a solution for those who are afraid of dentist visits, sedation dentistry. Sedation dentistry provides an opportunity for us to make our patients who struggle with dental anxiety feel more at ease, as it allows a safe way to rid the nerves at your dental appointment. Many have a misunderstanding about sedatives and define them as an induced sleep; however, this is incorrect. The reality is several of our patients who opt for sedation dentistry often stay awake during the procedure. 

Some advantages that come with sedation dentistry are as follows:

• Anxiety is alleviated. 
• Few side effects. 
• More can be accomplished during each visit. 
• No needles. 
• No pain. 
• Perfectly safe. 
• Procedures seem to take less time.
