Information for Patients
Who will benefit most?
Fear, Anxiety and phobias
Nearly half of the people in the US still avoid dental care because of their fear, anxiety and phobias. Modern, safe anesthesia techniques allow the fearful patient to have dental procedures without the anxiety associated with dentistry.
Low Pain Threshold
Many people perceive pain differently than others, or at a much smaller stimulus. With general anesthesia and sedation techniques, patients will have the perception of pain
altered and will be virtually pain free during the treatment.
Active Gag Reflexes
Some patients will gag before the smallest X-ray film is even placed in their mouth, or before they have a simple impression taken. Using anesthesia techniques even for the
simplest procedures can eliminate the problems caused by gagging.
Extensive Treatment
For sophisticated such as implant dentistry, or full mouth rehabilitation,and extended procedures such as periodontal surgery and root canal therapy, anesthesia services provide increased patient comfort.
