You’re not alone. Emotionally intense childhood memories are powerful. Over the years, they can manifest themselves and actually prevent adults from seeking out regular dental care that will help preserve and protect their teeth. The good news is the practice of dentistry is more advanced and comfortable than ever before. The bad news is it can be hard to get past negative experiences that provoke fear and anxiety. Take heart.
The most effective way to begin reducing or eliminating the fear associated with dental care is through trust. Trust is something that is established during your first dental visit and nurtured every visit thereafter. Trust is earned by your Dentist by ensuring your absolute comfort and satisfaction. Trust your Dentist to sit down with you and discuss the option that will meet your needs before any dental treatments are performed.
At AXIS Dental Group one of the ways we earn the trust of our patients is by offering what is referred to as Sedation Dentistry or Sleep Dentistry. There are three types of Sedation or Sleep Dentistry:
- General Anaesthesia – the patient is completely asleep and unconscious
- Deep Sedation – you’re unconscious but not in as deep a state of sedation; you should experience a faster recovery from this type of sedation
- Conscious Sedation – the patient remains conscious and responsive but is in a state that enables treatments to be carried out
To accommodate the needs of dental patients, we offer a wide variety of treatments through Sleep Dentistry. These include:
