Asheville, NC, May 22, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Phillips & Schmitt, DDS, PA is giving patients the opportunity to receive dental care with little discomfort.
Sedation dentistry helps to maximize comfort while receiving extensive treatment for those with low pain tolerance or dental related anxiety. You will be able to receive high quality dental care while in a state of deep relaxation. Sedation dentistry is helpful for those with:
- Dental fear and phobias
- Past traumatic dental experiences
- Difficulty getting numb
- A bad gag reflex
- Limited time to complete dental care
- Extra sensitive teeth
There are a variety of sedation dentistry methods that enhance relaxation throughout treatment. There are different levels of sedation, including minimal sedation, moderate sedation, deep sedation and general anesthesia. Forms of sedation include:
- Inhaled minimal sedation – nitrous oxide
- Oral sedation
- IV moderate sedation
- Deep sedation and general anesthesia
All these methods are safe and recovery is quick. Sedation dentistry is endorsed by the American Dental Association and is an effective way to make patients comfortable during their dental visit. Before using a sedative or anesthetic, it is important to tell Dr. Phillips and Dr. Schmitt about any medications or medical treatments you are receiving. Our dentists will also inform you about the process of sedation, as well as pre-sedation and post-sedation instructions.
We want you to be as comfortable as possible during your dental procedure. We take the time to listen to your concerns and will recommend the best treatment plan for you. Our Asheville dentists and team is dedicated to providing the highest quality care in the most comfortable environment.
