Jul 31, 2014 /prREACH/ -- An estimated 1 in 7 Americans experience some extent of anxiety or fear of dental visits. Additionally, industry statistics show that about 25 percent of all scheduled dental visits are cancelled due to a patient’s anxiety or fear of the upcoming procedure. Dr. Jim Rogers, Cincinnati, OH is helping change patient perspectives of dental visits with sedation dentistry services.
With the use of sedation services, patients can essentially sleep through their procedure and wake up refreshed, and with little or no memory of what took place during their dental visit. Patient reviews of Dr. Rogers' sedation services have been outstanding, with many reporting that the new experience had changed their outlook on dental procedures as a whole.
“Sedation services are one of the most important advances in dentistry, particularly because it gives patients the ability to visit the dentist without feeling anxious—something they never dreamed they could accomplish prior to the availability of dental sedation,” said Dr. Rogers. “Not only are we able to provide them with a better experience and perception of the dentist office, but we’re also able to treat their teeth after years of neglect, and finally provide them with a healthy, confident smile.”
Patients who are candidates for sedation services are most often provided with a prescription prior to their appointment that they can pick up at the local pharmacy. Just before the appointment, the patient takes the sedative pill that will put them in a sleepy, unaware state for the duration of their treatment. The patient is still conscious and can be responsive if needed, but is much less aware of the smells, sights, and sounds around the office. In other instances, patients may be candidates for IV sedation or for nitrous oxide.
Sedation is a helpful service for patients who struggle with anxiety at the dentist, but also for those who need multiple treatments completed at once over the period of several hours. With sedation, patients can receive much-needed care due to years of dental neglect and receive a healthy, confident smile in just one or two office visits. Sedation is also a helpful option for patients who have an extra sensitive gag reflex or have difficulty getting numb.
