Fear of the dentist is common, that doesn’t mean you can’t achieve a strong and healthy smile. Most often recommended to patients to alleviate increased anxiety or dental phobia, sedation dentistry helps promote a positive dental care experience for all. However, dental sedation is not just for those who suffer from dental anxiety. Aiding in completing procedures faster and increased tolerance to longer procedures, sedation dentistry continues to grow in popularity among our patients.
