Does your heart race at the mere mention of a dentist appointment? Then you are probably a sufferer of dental phobia. If it helps easing your apprehensions, know that you’re not alone.
Moderate to high dental fear is common in up to 17.5% of US adults. In fact, some people are so scared of the dentist that they prefer to neglect their dental health. This means many people are not getting the dental care they need.
Dental fear is more common than you think, and the dentists at Oyster Point Dentistry use dental sedation or oral sedation dentistry to help ease your fears.
Our Dentists are trained and equipped to make sure that people have the most comfortable dentist experience possible. We respect this natural fear that some patients have for dentists and dental care procedures.
For this reason we offer oral sedation services to put aside this very natural anxiety that many people associate with the dental care process. The oral sedation procedure itself is safe and painless as it does not require the use of needles.
If fear has kept you away from the dentist’s office for too long, now is the best time to return and get the proper dental care you need. Contact Oyster Point Dentistry for more information.
