Sedation Dentistry Makes It Easy To Calm Down About Coming To The Dentist

             Are you one of those people that gets nervous and worked up about going to the dentist so you end up delaying your visits? Don't worry! It's perfectly normal and I understand completely where you're coming from! However, I do have some good news for you that you're going to want to hear about. Here at Castle Rock Family Dental, we offer sedation dentistry to any patient that experiences overwhelming anxiety about coming in and seeing us.

            Just what is sedation anxiety you might ask? Very simply, it's an effective means to help people like you relax and be able to keep regular dental visits. The night before you come into the office for your appointment, we'll give you a small dose of valium to help you get a good nights rest. We don't want you awake all night long worrying yourself about the next day's visit. Valium is also very safe for people to use with minimal risks or any kind of lingering side effects. The next morning, we'll give you another small dose, to help you relax even more, and after about an hour, we can begin your procedure with you perfectly calm and at ease, or even sound asleep!

            Throughout the procedure my staff and I will monitor your pulse, blood pressure, and your breathing to ensure you're getting enough oxygen. And in very rare cases, if you were to get too sedated for my liking, we have the means to bring you out of it very quickly minimizing any kind of health risk. Laughing gas may also be used to help keep you calm.

            The nice thing about sedation dentistry for you, in addition to not being worried about going to the dentist is the amount of work we're able to get done! We can get quite a lot of dentistry done while you're sedated. This ensures that your smile is bright and beautiful, but also that your needs are being taken care of. Sedation dentistry also helps us minimize the number of return visits you'd have to make to our office, so there's no need for extra anxiety than you're already experiencing.

            Once you're done, we have a member of your family or a friend on standby; they come pick you up, take you home, and you're likely to take a good long nap. When you wake up, your smile will look great and very likely you won't have much of any memory of coming to the dentist at all. Only under very rare circumstances is someone not a viable candidate for sedation dentistry, and this only involves very serious medical conditions. We may consult with your physician or alter the treatment protocol, but again, that's only under very rare circumstances. Really just about everyone is a great candidate for sedation dentistry.

            At Castle Rock Family Dental, we're currently accepting new patients all the time. So if you've been putting off giving us a call because you're nervous, you don't have to be any more! Sedation dentistry really is a great way to ensure your smile gets the TLC it deserves. You can reach us via phone at 303-688-2229 or our website http://castlerockfamilydental.com to schedule your appointment!
