America\u2019s top 10 phobia<\/a> list! Despite our efforts to debunk the clich\u00e9, \u201cdentists are the bad guy\u201d stereotype, there are still some patients that struggle with dental phobia. Past unfortunate experiences don\u2019t always cause dental phobia either. Dental fear could be a snowball of fear of being trapped, getting an injection, or having your personal space invaded. That\u2019s why we think it\u2019s so important to make sure that every patient that visits Ponte Vedra Complete Dentistry has a positive dental experience that may influence future appointments.<\/p>\nBy having an open conversation with your dentist in Ponte Vedra Beach about your dental fears, our office will be able to recommend the best form of sedation that we offer. This way, you can receive the dental work that your smile desperately needs in a relaxed state. This is especially important if you are needing to receive a lot of dental work or oral surgery.<\/p>\n
Sedation Offered by Ponte Vedra Complete Dentistry<\/h2>\n
If you have a history of canceling appointments, you could be severely affecting your health. Our experts are sedation dentists that are ready to help you overcome your dental fears. With our comprehensive sedation dentistry options, you can finally get the dental care you need whether it be dental implants, extractions, or even root canal therapy.<\/p>\n
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)<\/h3>\n
Which sounds more inviting? Laughing gas or a dental drill? Nitrous Oxide is otherwise known as laughing gas. If you have mild dental anxiety, discuss nitrous oxide with your dentist. Dr. Harth or Dr. Townsend can safely monitor the amount of gas you\u2019ll inhale during your appointment. Besides working quickly, it wears off quickly as well. Laughing gas is so light and invasive that you\u2019re able to continue the rest of your busy day uninterrupted as soon as the sedative wears off.<\/p>\n
Oral Sedation<\/h3>\n
Although this sedative is a bit stronger than laughing gas, it\u2019s not strong enough to leave you unconscious for extended periods of time. Either of our dentists will administer a monitored amount of medication to help you feel a little drowsy. In some cases, patients can even fall asleep for the whole dental visit. After the sedative has worn off, patients typically will have a numb mouth but still be alert, responding as normal.<\/p>\n
