I\u2019ve spent the last 3 years with so many medical issues that I can\u2019t manage to even see a sedation dentist about the problems that I have with my teeth due to my illnesses and medication. The countless hospital stays and doctors\u2019 appointments have tapped out my emotions. Thankfully I am much better physically but I\u2019m just exhausted from seeing healthcare providers. I know that my teeth need extensive work and I will have to see a dentist, but I\u2019m just afraid. I understand that sedation dentistry is my best option, but I\u2019m anxious about going to the dentist. I just want to get my anxiety under control before I take that step. There isn\u2019t a lot of time for me to do this because my teeth are in poor shape and it is starting to affect my confidence. What can I do to get over this hump? Ava<\/p>\n

Sedation dentists<\/a> don\u2019t just give you medication so you can get through your dental appointment. They thoroughly understand dental anxiety, and they are compassionate about it. Part of their training involves seeking to understand why a patient is anxious, and that comes through communication with you.<\/p>\n

Your experience with a sedation dentist will evolve from conversation, to education and understanding, to dental treatment. A sedation dentist makes the effort to provide a calming office environment, to hire patient staff members, and to ensure your comfort throughout the dental visit.<\/p>\n

We suggest that you schedule appointments to speak with at least two sedation dentists\u2014not for dental treatment\u2014but to get to know the dentist and how he or she can help you address your anxiety. Medication is part of the solution, but so is your relationship with the dentist. When you call to schedule the appointment, explain your concerns and that your request is only for a consultation\u2014no exam or x-rays.<\/p>\n

You can get to know the dentist and experience the office environment before you commit to dental treatment.<\/p>\n
