We know from meeting a lot of patients over the years that a strong gag reflex is something that you could be dealing with. We also know that it’s one of those things that might cause you enough embarrassment and frustration to keep you from coming in for your dental care. Not to worry! Our quiz about how dental sedation may help (amongst other things) will be of assistance.

Have you received nitrous oxide during dental care in the past? What did you think? Perhaps you found it to be surprisingly pleasant and can’t believe how relaxing your visit was! Maybe you liked it just fine but you are still hoping for a deeper sense of calm either for general care or for those times you need to see us for more complex treatments. Whatever the case, we would like to offer you some help with figuring out what to do now. Of course, we will also be happy to speak with you one-on-one about options the next time we see you.

“Finally!” you think to yourself. “I’ve found a way that I can go to the dentist, thanks to dental sedation!” Then, of course, you start thinking about the fact that you haven’t seen a dentist in 25 years. Or, you have this nagging worry that you won’t qualify for sedation, so you realize you might not have actually found a solution. As a result, your joy turns to concern and you feel like you’re back and square one. We know that dental anxiety can make it extremely difficult to clear your mind and simply come in for care. However, that is exactly what you should do! Toss away all the old fears and start fresh. Don’t believe it? Consider some very helpful information.

We know from firsthand experience speaking with individuals who deal with dental anxiety that getting answers before you contact us can help you feel better about dental care. However, you will find that getting the answers you need about dental sedation might not be very easy because you probably have inquiries that pertain to your personal needs. So, what to do, you wonder? In nearly every scenario, the first response we have to offer is: Call us! Not sure your question is worth the phone call? We beg to differ! Consider some good reasons to pick up that phone and you’ll be feeling much better about your pathway toward sedation and the care your smile needs.
