I\u2019m just concerned that sedation might make my condition worse. I have difficulty sitting for extended periods, so if sedation is going to keep me in the dental chair longer than I should be, that\u2019s a concern too. The thought of falling from being drowsy also scares me. Do patients with osteoporosis get sedation dentistry? Is there anything I need to consider before I ask for it? Valeriya<\/p>\n<p>Valeriya &#8211; As you know, osteoporosis decreases bone density and makes bones very fragile. It can affect your oral health.<\/p>\n<h2>Osteoporosis Affects Oral Health<\/h2>\n<p>The disease can affect any bone in your body, including your jawbone. It creates oral health risks including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Decreased jawbone density and affecting the stability of your teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Triggering periodontal (gum) disease<\/li>\n<li>Increased risk of needing dentures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Sedation Dentistry Can Help<\/h2>\n<p>Your oral health needs more attention than usual. Sedation dentistry can help you get the dental care you need. Before you receive sedation, your dentist will determine if you\u2019re a candidate for it.<\/p>\n<p>Your medical and prescription history will be thoroughly reviewed. Your dentist may want to collaborate with your medical doctors to take necessary precautions and to determine which form of anti-anxiety medication is best for your needs. Most patients are candidates for sedation dentistry even if they have other medical conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Speak with your dentist about your concerns with sitting in the chair too long. He or she will schedule multiple visits, if necessary, to ensure your comfort.<\/p>\n<p>What can you expect after receiving <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/sedation-dentist-plano.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sedation dentistry<\/a>? It\u2019s important to closely follow after care instructions to prevent injury.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You will still be drowsy.<\/li>\n<li>The dental office should have a wheel chair ready to take you to the car. You won\u2019t have to worry about falling and breaking fragile bones.<\/li>\n<li>You will have arranged for transportation home, and that person or another responsible adult should stay with you for the rest of the day.<\/li>\n<li>Rest in bed or on the sofa, and limit your activity around the house. Someone should assist you with necessary tasks to prevent you from falling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your dentist will work with your and your doctors to limit the effects of osteoporosis on your oral health. With proper screening and planning, sedation dentistry can help.<\/p>\n<p>This post is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Plano dentist<\/a> Dr. Miranda Lacy.
