Thanks to new treatments in dental sedation, many individuals suffering with dental phobia or anxiety are receiving much needed dental treatment and are improving their oral health.
Dental phobia is fear of the dentist or anything related to dentistry. The anxiety often is rooted in past dental experiences that are traumatic or stem from fear of needles or pain. The fear may be overwhelming and many experiencing dental phobia do not seek the dental care they need. As a result, these individuals may have poor oral health with associated health conditions.
Treatments to reduce anxiety
At Liverpool Dental Spa, we offer patients dental sedation as an option to reduce their anxieties. Dental sedation involves a sedative to place a person in a relaxed state while maintaining consciousness.
Unlike general anaesthesia, during and after sedation, the person remains in control and is able to interact with the dentist. People suffering with dental phobia choose dental sedation because it allows them to feel calm and no pain while receiving dental treatment.
Feel in control
Being able to control their dental treatment experience reduces their anxiety about dental treatment. Feeling a loss of control often accentuates dental phobia. Our friendly team at Liverpool Dental Spa aims to make dental treatment an enjoyable experience so that there is no need to feel fear and anxiety.
We are here to discuss your dental phobia needs with you and provide you with options to help you overcome fears and anxieties about dental care. Get in touch with us and we can tell you all about dental sedation and how it works.
Dentistry has come a long way with modern dental materials, equipment, and procedures to improve patient care and dental experience. Patient comfort and care is at the heart of our Liverpool Dental Spa.
