How can sedation help overcome dental anxiety?

Sedation Dentist Near Me Colorado Springs Area

Have you been putting off your dental appointments because of dental anxiety? Many Americans share the same experience with you. Dental fear and anxiety are some of the most common reasons many people miss dental appointments. To combat this, sedation dentistry has been introduced to improve your experience at the dentist. At Mark H. Wright, DDS in Colorado Springs, Colorado, we offer oral sedation to make your dental appointments less stressful. This way, you can stay up to date with your dental visits, helping you maintain your oral health at its optimal best.

How does oral sedation work?

Oral sedation is one of the three sedation dentistry methods dentists use to calm patients during dental procedures. Unlike intravenous (IV) and nitrous oxide sedation, oral sedation involves ingesting pills in the hours preceding the appointment. Taking a sedative pill results in a relaxed and calm mood, allowing the dentist to perform hassle-free dental treatments.

But how exactly do oral sedatives work? They decrease activities in the brain that are responsible for controlling fear and anxiety. The pill makes you drowsy, but you are conscious and relaxed throughout the procedure, and you can ask and answer questions from your dentist.

Advantages of oral sedation

Are you jittery about oral sedatives? Please consider the below benefits of oral sedation.

  • Easy to administer: Oral sedation involves taking a pill an hour or so before the dental procedure. It’s the easiest sedation of the three options.
  • Safe: We use FDA-approved sedatives, so you don’t have to worry about severe side effects.
  • No needles: Afraid of injections? Unlike IV sedation, no needles are involved in oral sedation.
  • Responsiveness: Though you may feel drowsy after taking the sedative, you will remain responsive during the procedure and will be able to follow instructions from your dentist.

Are you ready to overcome dental fear and anxiety? Please dial (719) 624-4122 to book an appointment with Mark H. Wright, DDS in Colorado Springs, CO. Dr. Mark H. Wright is trained to administer sedatives safely and effectively.
