Causes of Dental Anxiety
There are quite a few reasons people experience anxiety about dentists including the following:

  • Fear of pain
  • Feeling helpless
  • Bad gag reflex
  • Embarrassment
  • Negative experiences

 

Sedation is the Solution
Thanks to advancements in sedation dentistry it is now easier than ever to reduce your dental anxiety. Also, there are many forms of sedation that can be utilized and doing so helps patients no matter what form of anxiety they are dealing with. Also, while the sedation helps to calm the patient and help them relax it also works to help the doctor treat you more efficiently.
