Imagine the following: You are stretched out in a dental chair at the start of a checkup. As a dental assistant wraps a paper bib around your neck and clicks on a bright overhead light, you tense up and your heart begins to pound. If this sounds at all like you, sedation dentistry from Aspen Ridge Dental in Casper can help.
Millions of people experience heightened stress levels when they go to the dentist. Sometimes it’s so intense, people skip the dentist altogether. This is a coping mechanism that psychologists call “avoidence.” The problem with it, of course, is that it puts your dental health at risk.
We offer the following types of sedation:
- Nitrous Oxide. Commonly known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide has been used in dentistry for more than a century. It acts quickly and wears off quickly.
- Oral Conscious Sedation. You take a prescribed pill an hour or so before your procedure (we’ll have a schedule for you). You stay awake but are greatly relaxed.
- IV Sedation. As the term suggests, this is administered in the arm. It induces a greatly relaxed feeling. You won’t be very aware of what is going on around you.
Don’t let anxiety put your dental health at risk! Sedation dentistry from Aspen Ridge Dental in Casper will get you easily through any procedure. People from Riverton and Douglas come to us for complete family dentistry services. Call to schedule an appointment with us today!
