Sleep Through Dental Visits With Sedation Dentistry
Have you been postponing dental work? You may be one of the millions of Americans who suffer from dental anxiety. Between 9% and 20% (WebMD) of us will avoid dental visits entirely because of it. Sedation dentistry allows you to relax completely and get the treatment you need. Drs. Lawrence and Kyle Duffy provide general anesthesia, basically induced sleep, as an option. This type of sedation dentistry is often helpful in the following circumstances:
- Complex or extensive dental treatments
- Extreme fear of dentistry, needles, etc.
- Severe gag reflex
- Patients who are unable to cooperate and/or have special needs
Special Needs Patients Require Experienced, Compassionate Dentists
General anesthesia is an attractive alternative for children and adults with special needs. When conditions, such as autism or Alzheimer’s, are keeping your loved one from getting necessary dental treatment, sedation dentistry may be the solution. Our doctors and staff have the skill, experience, and compassion you are looking for in a dental team.
