Dental sedation has long been an essential part of professional dental care, especially for patients who suffer from varying degrees of dental fear and anxiety. With the help of an appropriate sedative, patients can relax, remain calm, and receive the dental care they need to keep their smiles healthy. However, even if you don’t experience dental fear and phobia, sedation can still prove a valuable addition to your treatment plan. To find out if your dental treatment warrants sedation, speak with your dentist about the benefits during your next visit.
