Is Sedation Dentistry Right for Me?

Overcome Dental Anxiety With Your Provo Dentist

To help you decide whether or not you should seriously consider dental sedation, take a good look inside yourself and think about your attitude towards the dentist.

Do you have a deep or unreasonable fear of the dentist? Do you purposely forego going to the dentist because the thought just makes you nervous? This is called dental anxiety, and you should know that you are definitely not the only one with a fear of the dentist.
HOWEVER, dental sedation is making it possible for those with even the most intense dental anxiety to comfortably receive the dental care they need.

CONQUER YOUR FEAR OF THE DENTIST

If you do have a fear of the dentist and experience dental anxiety you are probably a good candidate for dental sedation. Because dental sedation is safe, it can be offered to anyone who wants it or needs it, though we primarily endorse dental sedation for people who:

Dental Sedation Can Improve Your Life!

Many of our patients who previously suffered from dental anxiety say their quality of life has greatly improved after taking advantage of sedation dentistry.

Those who had a fear of the dentist but needed some work done finally got the smile that they had always wanted, boosting their confidence and self-esteem. They immediately noticed their family, friends, and colleagues were treating them differently (in a good way), and everyone seemed to be happier around them.

It makes sense. When you are happy with who you are, it radiates to those around you in the form of a smile!
