Sedation Dentistry
Do you dread going to the dentist due to fear or anxiety?
Relax; you're in great hands - Nearly 50% of the population feels nervous or uncomfortable about going to the dentist or having dental procedures done. Apprehensive patients ofter avoid dental care, leading to advanced disease and even more extensive treatment.
What would you say if you were told it is possible to get all your dentistry done in a few short visits and not remember any of it? Well, it is now possible to sleep through your appointment! For many who have let the health of their mouth decline because of fear or anxiety, we can now sedate you to get you through all procedures. With the use of a small pill one hour prior to the appointment, your anxiety can be lifted away, and the noise of the procedure and awareness is completely removed.
The doctors at Family First Dental Center understand the importance of helping our patients feel relaxed and comfortable during dental procedures.
