Reston, VA dentist helps fearful dental patients with sedation

Every day thousands of people suffer in silence with dental pain. They avoid necessary dental care because they’re afraid. They’re afraid of the pain and discomfort of the dentist giving shots, drilling and holding their mouth open for an extended period of time. All this avoidance of temporary discomfort leads to days, sometimes years of uncomfortable dental pain.



It honestly doesn’t make sense, it’s perfectly nonsensical. All this avoidance is bad yes. But the real problem with avoiding proper and necessary dental care is the pernicious peril of oral borne diseases that rotting teeth and poor bad oral hygiene in general can cause.



And despite all the incredible advances in dental care over the last 50 years the basic problem of tooth decay and other dental problems are prevalent. It’s remarkable that in today’s modern world people still fear and avoid going to the dentist.



One of the most simple and effective ways to avoid dental anxiety is the rudimentary solution of sedation. Sedation is a method where you can actually be consciously unconscious during your dental procedures. Sedation can take all of your fears and anxiety away because you’ll be in "La La land" during the appointment.

Sedation can either be administered with a simple pill that you take or for faster and more effective sedation we offer IV (intravenous) sedation. IV sedation literally sedates you within minutes.



With IV sedation, you’ll remain conscious, and will be able to understand and respond to requests from your dental team. For most people, IV sedation induces a state of deep relaxation and a feeling of not being bothered by what’s going on. IV sedation is so effective that most patients who choose it reduce the number of visits required to complete their dentistry because they are so relaxed and at ease, we are able to address more than one concern and accomplish more. And remember … you can receive IV sedation for any type of dental work, even a cleaning at our Reston Virginia dental office.



Don’t worry about the effectiveness or the long term effects of IV sedation. We’ve been trained extensively with the techniques of IV sedation. It’s a popular and obvious solution for anyone who’s extremely nervous about their dental appointments.



There’s no reason to be fearful of their dental appointments. Truly there’s no reason to stay away from our offices because with IV sedation you won’t feel a thing and you’ll be in a happy place during the visit you made to the dental office.
