Here are 6 ways sleep dentistry can help you reach your oral health goals.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Reduce Anxiety and Stress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental anxiety is more common than many people realize. 60% of people across the globe admit to having some degree of anxiety when visiting a dentist.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fear can stem from the sights, sounds, or smells of the office. Others may worry about pain or have a negative memory of a past dental experience. No matter the reason your palms sweat, dental sedation can help you sit back and relax while in the dentist\u2019s chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Avoid Pain or Discomfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental sedation can be used along with a local numbing agent, so you won\u2019t have any discomfort during your procedure. Depending on the type of sedative used, they can also block pain signals. At most, you may feel some pressure, but you won\u2019t have any pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Sit Comfortably in the Dentist\u2019s Chair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have jaw pain or a strong gag reflex, visiting the dentist can be challenging. Dental sedation is perfect for patients with unique needs, like difficulty laying in one position for too long or holding their jaw open.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Streamline Your Treatment Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need multiple procedures, sedation can help both you and your dentist. Your dental team can perform the necessary treatments quickly, saving you time and money because you won\u2019t need several appointments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need a lengthy procedure, dental sedation will make time fly by without dreading a long day in the dentist\u2019s chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Safe and Effective<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist will review your medical history, including any medications you\u2019re taking to ensure you\u2019re a candidate for sedation. Nitrous oxide is the safest for most patients; however, many types of sedatives may meet your needs, based on your unique situation. Your dental team will monitor you closely to ensure your safety.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Quick Recovery Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nitrous oxide is a preferred dental sedation because it takes effect quickly and doesn\u2019t cause any long-term side effects. Within about 2 minutes, the sedative will wear off, so you won\u2019t need anyone to drive you home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Dental Sedation Right for You?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every situation differs, but most people can benefit from sedation dentistry. Your dentist will learn more about your concerns and health history to determine if it\u2019s an option for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re afraid of needles or need a root canal, you can get the care you need without any anxiety or pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. James Candon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridgemilldentalcare.com\/dr-james-candon.html\">Dr. Candon<\/a> earned his dental degree at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry and has completed advanced education in many specialties, like sedation dentistry.
