Too Scared to See the Dentist?

Have you ever felt extremely anxious, nervous or even scared of a visit to the dentist's office? If so, you are definitely not alone and may be experiencing dental anxiety. This is very common and they are many reasons for why some people may feel this way while others do not. Some people will even go years without seeing a dentist because of it and this can be very detrimental to their oral health.

The staff at Complete Dental Health is very understanding of those who have anxiety about seeing the dentist, and know that it is a common problem. To comfort those uneasy about the dentist, Dr. Tim Collins and Dr. David Landau offer sedation dentistry so that everyone can receive the treatment they require while still feeling comfortable and calm.

What is is:
With Halcyon oral sedation you are given one pill to take an hour before your appointment. This will put you into an extremely relaxed and drowsy state and because of this you will need someone to take you to and from your appointment. During the treatment you are in a "sleep-like" state, meaning that you are able to speak and respond to questions or commands but will probably not remember much of the visit. You will be able to receive the treatment, and may even be able to combine the treatments you need into one and get it over with in one shot, all while feeling completely comfortable and relaxed the entire time!

Remember: that skipping dental visits today can mean more time and money down the road, so if you feel your anxiety gets in the way of maintaining your personal dental hygiene, contact the staff at Complete Dental Health today.
