What is Sedation Dentistry?<\/h2>\n

Sedation dentistry is a procedure we offer at our Springfield dentist office that helps you feel relaxed during your dental procedures. We have three different sedation dentistry options available and we will recommend the best one for you and the procedures you are undergoing. Sedation dentistry will help you stay calm and relaxed during your procedure. Eventually, using these treatments might help you overcome your fear of the dentist and make you feel more inclined to visit us before problems grow out of control.<\/p>\n

Different Sedation Dentistry Options at Chesterfield Family Dental<\/h2>\n

Nitrous Oxide<\/h2>\n

This conscious sedation method is better known as laughing gas. This is a misnomer though because you won\u2019t giggle your way through treatments. That would actually make our job a little difficult. Nitrous oxide is a gas that we administer to you in combination with oxygen. This gas keeps you conscious but makes your whole body relax during your procedure. Our dentist can adjust the amount given to you as necessary and the effects wear off within minutes after turning the gas off.<\/p>\n

Oral Sedation<\/h2>\n

If you find that your dental anxiety begins before you even reach our office and you need a bit more of an effect than nitrous oxide, oral sedation might be the better option for you. Oral sedation is simply a pill you take before your dental appointment. The pill is basically a prescription valium. We will instruct you when to take it, and before your appointment even begins, you will feel completely relaxed. We advise you to arrange for a ride to and from the appointment as you won\u2019t be able to drive while under the influence. During your procedures, you will feel quite relaxed and might even drift off to sleep.<\/p>\n

NuCalm Relaxation System\"Sedation<\/h2>\n

Our last type of sedation dentistry treatment we offer is the NuCalm Relaxation System. Similar to how nitrous oxide is administered, this narcotic-free method delivers your body to meet the first sleep stage. This is the stage when you\u2019re beginning to fall asleep and your thoughts are all over the place but you feel very peaceful. With NuCalm Relaxation System, you will feel this throughout your entire appointment and leave our office feeling stress-free and relaxed.<\/p>\n

The Benefits of Sedation Dentistry<\/h2>\n

With sedation dentistry comes a multitude of benefits. For example, those who suffer from dental anxiety or a fear of the dentist can finally receive the dental procedures they need to achieve a healthy smile. In many cases, these patients only visit us when their problems grow out of control and they\u2019re in a significant amount of pain. Instead of going this painful route, we recommend our patients visit us for their preventive dentistry visits like their dental exams and cleanings every 6 months. During these visits, we take x-rays and examine your mouth so we can catch problems in their tracks. That way, you can avoid expensive and painful procedures down the line. Ask our dentist about using sedation dentistry at your next cleaning.<\/p>\n

Another benefit of sedation dentistry is giving you the ability to receive multiple procedures in one visit. This is a huge benefit to those who struggle to sit still for long periods of time or suffer from severe dental anxiety. This will save you time from visiting us more than once and it helps the dentist complete all necessary procedures in one visit. It saves everyone time.<\/p>\n

Sedation dentistry also benefits you and Dr. Buzbee by making procedures go by faster. It will go by faster for you because you will feel relaxed and won\u2019t need to stop us every few minutes for a concern. It helps Dr. Buzbee work faster because you are relaxed and not interrupting him while he works. This helps him complete your treatment faster. As a result, you will spend less time in our relaxing chair!<\/p>\n

Is Sedation Dentistry Right for Me?<\/h2>\n

Candidates for sedation dentistry include those who have dental anxiety or a fear of the dentist. If this anxiety or fear prevents you from making appointments to have work done, sedation dentistry is an ideal solution for you. We also recommend sedation dentistry to patients who struggle to sit still for long periods of time. This includes those who are in a lot of back or leg pain or any pain that makes sitting uncomfortable. This also includes those who have mental or physical disabilities like ADD, ADHD or even Parkinson\u2019s disease. Whatever the reason might be that you avoid visiting the dentist, give sedation dentistry a try for your next procedure. This will help you it improves your experience.<\/p>\n
