Littleton Dental Practice Discusses the Benefits of Sedation Dentistry

Like in any other field of medicine, sedation is a simple procedure administered to patients who undergo a potentially painful or long surgery.

Littleton, CO (prHWY.com) February 15, 2013 - Littleton, Colorado (January 23, 2013) - Renowned Littleton dental practice, Southbridge Family Dentistry, is promoting the benefits of sedation dentistry to patients of all ages who are suffering from dental phobia.

Like in any other field of medicine, sedation is a simple procedure administered to patients who undergo a potentially painful or long surgery. This involves medications that help put nervous patients into a calm and dreamlike state as the surgery is carried out. It is commonly used in the field of dentistry as the best solution to help patients with dental phobia to overcome their anxieties.

Thanks to the latest advances in dental technology, a variety of sedatives are now available to put patients with dental phobia at ease with treatments, including inhaled minimal sedation using nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and intravenous (IV) sedation, otherwise referred to as deep conscious sedation. It is absolutely safe as the breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure of the patient is well monitored before, during, and after the procedure.

Compromising one's oral health and not visiting the dentist due to dental anxieties can pose harmful risks to the overall health. Oftentimes, it can result in a more serious dental condition that would require severe last minute surgery that can be pricey as well as painful.

Some of the other benefits of sedation dentistry include a lesser amount of time and number of sessions to finish the course of treatment. It can also benefit people requiring special care for their sensitive teeth, Parkinson's disease, and gag reflexes.
