Summary of this video by Dr. Devin Hall
Dr. Devin Hall explains that sedation dentistry offers significant benefits by making dental treatment more comfortable and efficient. In the past, patients often needed multiple visits while remaining fully aware of the sights, sounds and sensations of dental procedures. With sedation, however, much of the necessary work can often be completed in a single visit while the patient remains deeply relaxed. Although it’s not general anesthesia, most patients feel calm, unaware of the procedure and often nap comfortably throughout their appointment, allowing them to complete extensive dental care in one stress-free session.
Coping with Dental Anxiety in Bowling Green, KY
Many people experience fear or apprehension at the thought of visiting the dentist. This is often referred to as dental anxiety, and it’s something we address with understanding and care at Chandler Park Dental Care in Bowling Green, KY. We believe that everyone deserves a smile they can be proud of, free from the barriers of fear or worry during dental visits.
Understanding the Effects of Dental Anxiety
Dental anxiety is more than just a fear of dentists or discomfort about sitting in the dental chair. It can affect people in various ways, whether it stems from a past negative experience, fear of procedures, or simply the uncertainty of what the dentist might find. Addressing this issue is one of our top priorities, as explained by Dr. Devin Hall, DMD: “The benefits of sedation dentistry are really numerous,” noting that patients are more relaxed, allowing the dentist to complete multiple visits at once, reducing the number of necessary visits.
The Role of Sedation Dentistry
At Chandler Park Dental Care, we offer sedation dentistry as a compassionate solution to ease the dental experience for anxious patients. Dr. Hall notes, “What sedation allows us to do is many times, we’re able to have all these things completed … in just one visit.” This gentle approach helps to transform the dental experience into something much more manageable and even pleasant.
