Cosmetic and Sedation Dentistry
Calgary, Alberta Dentist
If you have been avoiding the dentist due to dental anxiety, you are not alone. Approximately 30% of the population fails to receive important dental treatments due to fear or anxiety. Unfortunately, failing to take care of your teeth and gums can result in serious health complications down the road.
Fortunately, you do not have to be afraid of the dentist any longer. Sedation dentistry enables you to feel comfortable and relaxed in the dentist’s chair so that you can receive the important treatments necessary to maintain optimal levels of oral health.
Who Benefits from Sedation Dentistry?
Most people can benefit from sedation dentistry. Calgary dentist Dr. Steven Cload regularly recommends sedation dentistry if you experience:
- Dental anxiety
- Sensitive teeth
- A low pain threshold
- Difficulty getting numb
- Complex dental issues which require extensive procedures
- Difficulty sitting still in the dentist’s chair
- An active gag reflex
- Traumatic dental experiences in the past
Conditions such as cerebral palsy or Parkinson’s disease often make it difficult to control your movement, impacting your ability to receive the dental care you need. If you have one of these conditions, sedation dentistry can help you relax so that these involuntary movements won’t interfere with your dentistry treatment.
Sedation Dentistry Benefits
There are many benefits to choosing sedation dentistry. The most obvious benefit involves people who experience dental phobias. Sedation dentistry will make it possible to ease your anxiety and receive your necessary treatments. With sedation dentistry, you will be placed in a relaxed state throughout your procedure. In many cases, you will not remember much after your procedure. Instead, you will simply awake feeling refreshed.
Sedation dentistry is also ideal if you are planning on undergoing extensive treatment such as a smile makeover or a full mouth reconstruction. These often require multiple procedures to accomplish your goals. By using sedation dentistry, Dr. Cload can complete these procedures in fewer office visits, saving you both time and money.
