What stops a person from making plans to have their smile restored? Even if they feel that something is wrong with their oral health, someone with dental anxiety can struggle to move forward with plans for treatments that they need. At our Riverside, CA dentist’s office, we are ready to help individuals who struggle with this. To make your time in the dentist’s chair more comfortable, we can recommend the use of dental sedation to help you stay calm. Once you have access to care in an environment where you feel at ease, you can make plans to address any issues that have negatively affected your appearance and oral health.

Does Dental Anxiety Interfere With Your Desire To Arrange Oral Health Visits?

If your anxiety has kept you from seeking oral health services, even when you feel something is wrong, it can leave you vulnerable to more trouble than you realize. Oral health problems will worsen in time if they do not receive the appropriate restorative treatment. In their earliest stages, cavities can be treated with dental fillings, which only occupy a limited amount of space on a tooth. When decay grows more serious, root canal therapy and dental crowns are often needed to complete treatment.

Scheduling Restorative Treatments To Address Active Problems

When you reach out to discuss care, we can explain what your options for dental sedation are. There are different degrees of sedation that can help people with varying levels of anxiety. Many people choose to have nitrous oxide administered throughout their procedure. The effects will wear off shortly after the gas is no longer administered, so you can feel comfortable driving home after treatment.

Depending on the state of your smile, we may need to arrange multiple treatments. In addition to restoring teeth that are damaged or decayed, we can make any necessary arrangements to extract teeth in poor condition and replace them, or provide prosthetic dental work for teeth that are already lost.

The Benefits Of Consistent Preventive Appointments

When you are able to consistently visit your dentist for preventive care, you can avoid an accumulation of oral health problems that call for more involved restorative services. Because we are committed to providing positive patient experiences, and because we do offer sedation when necessary, we can help people who normally struggle in the dentist’s chair enjoy the support they require for long-term dental health!
