Skip to content Dental anxiety, fear, or phobia is more common than you might think. Whether the fear is of needles, the drills, or the whole dentist experience, – there is an option known as sleep dentistry that can help you relax during your dental visit. Sleep dentistry gives patients a choice of sedative medication to help them to relax, feel comfortable, and experience minimum or virtually no pain during dental treatments. These medications induce either sleep or calmness. Because of the use of sedatives, this form of dentistry is also known as sedation dentistry.
Don’t let your dental fear hold you back, we can help.
