DENTAL SEDATION CLEVELAND SOLON

Being afraid of the dentist can be a debilitating condition, especially when your dental health suffers as a result. Fortunately, if you’re one of the millions of people who suffer from dental anxiety, there’s good news!

There are ways to make your trip to the dentist much more enjoyable, and dental sedation can be the perfect solution if you’re afraid of the dentist. Read on to learn more about sedation dentistry and how it can get rid of your dental anxiety.

How do I know if I need dental sedation?

Dental sedation is commonly used to help patients who are afraid of the dentist. It’s also a good option if you’ve had a bad experience at the dentist in the past and have been avoiding going since then. If you’re worried about having dental work done, talk to us about what type of sedation would be best for you. For example, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is an effective form of sedation that won’t make you groggy afterwards.

Another option might be oral conscious sedation where we give you medications orally or through your IV so that it enters your bloodstream quicker than other forms of sedation like inhalants or pills. Whatever method is best for you, our team will take care to make sure your stay with Good Health Dental goes as smoothly as possible so that you can feel confident in returning home feeling happy after your dental visit.

What exactly is the process of dental sedation?

Dental sedation is a safe and effective way to help you get through dental treatment that could be painful. At Good Health Dental in Cleveland Solon, our dentist Dr. Kyle Radin will put you under anesthesia, which is also known as ‘going asleep.’

Then your teeth cleaning, filling or extraction as needed happens while you “sleep”. When it’s time to wake up, Dr. Radin will administer medication that makes you feel alert again.

Afterwards, when you’re discharged from the office, we recommend that you have someone drive you home and stay with you for at least 24 hours after your dental procedure.

Can I use insurance to pay for my visit if I have an anxiety disorder?

Dental anxiety is one of the most common forms of phobias, and it can make any dental procedure difficult or sometimes even impossible. If you are looking for a solution to your dental fear, here are a few things to keep in mind.

1. You may have to pay out-of-pocket if you have an anxiety disorder.
2. If you have dental insurance, contact your insurer to find out what they cover.
3. If you are experiencing extreme fear and panic during visits with the dentist, consider seeking help from a psychologist or psychiatrist who specializes in this area. They may be able to prescribe medication that will reduce or prevent these symptoms.
