It\u2019s common this time of year to take time out to enjoy a friendly prank or two on friends and co-workers. Everyone enjoys a good scare every now and then, especially around Halloween.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why you see long lines at haunted houses the whole month of October and at movie theatres when the latest horror film is released. People love the thrill of fear and the relief when they realize whatever scared them isn\u2019t really going to hurt them.<\/span><\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not at all how someone with dental anxiety feels. Being afraid of the dentist to the point that you break appointments or don\u2019t make appointments at all is the kind of fear that is never followed with a sigh of relief and the assurance that you\u2019ll be okay. <\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why our team at Beck Dental Care knows it takes more than just someone at your side to suffer with you the way you do for a scary movie or haunted house. It takes a warm, friendly staff and <\/span><\/p>\n

sedation dentistry<\/span><\/p>\n

like you\u2019ll find in our Columbia, TN dental office!<\/span><\/p>\n

Sedation Dentistry Eases Dental Fear<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n

People suffer from dental fear for all sorts of reasons. You might have had a bad experience in the past during a dental appointment or are haunted by a particularly painful procedure. <\/span><\/p>\n

Another possibility is because you\u2019ve heard friends, co-workers, or even close family members who\u2019ve told you horror stories about their own trauma at the dentist. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s even understandable for people to be afraid of dental care because they fear being out of control. If you\u2019re used to being the one in charge in your daily life, at home or at work, it can feel incredibly uncomfortable to be completely vulnerable while someone else calling the shots. <\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless of what\u2019s causing your dental anxiety, sedation is a highly effective way to overcome it. Sedation dentistry can help patients who struggle with:<\/span><\/p>\n

-Remembering Their Dental Procedure<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

-Strong Gag Reflex<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

-Fear Of Pain Or A Low Tolerance For Pain<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

-Extensive Dental Work They Require<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

When you come to Beck Dental Care, you\u2019ll be able to talk to one of our caring professionals about what it would take to make you feel more comfortable. Depending on your level of fear and the dental work you require, we can help you decide which method of sedation is right for you. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Sedation Method Depends On You<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n

There are three options in sedation dentistry, and our team will make sure that you\u2019re getting the method that best suits your needs. <\/span><\/p>\n

Nitrous Oxide For Mild Anxiety<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n

Also called laughing gas, nitrous oxide is suitable for patients who feel mildly anxious and perhaps require shorter or less invasive treatment. Nitrous oxide is safe for people regardless of age, and it\u2019s great for giving you just enough sedation to help you feel relaxed. <\/span><\/p>\n

Oral Sedation For Moderate Anxiety<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n

Some patients need more help and find oral sedation best for their level of nervousness. This is where you take a sedative pill shortly before your appointment so that by the time you arrive, you\u2019re very calm, relaxed, and ready to begin your treatment. <\/span><\/p>\n

Because you take it before your procedure and it takes awhile to wear off after, you will need to arrange for a friend or family member to drive you to and from your appointment. <\/span><\/p>\n

IV Sedation For Severe Anxiety<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n

The strongest form of sedation you find in our dental office, or any dental office for that matter, is IV sedation. Here, you\u2019re given a sedative through an IV and are in a sleep-like state during treatment. You likely won\u2019t even remember the procedure itself!<\/span><\/p>\n

Not all dentists are able to offer this method because it requires advanced training and certification, both of which our dentists have here at Beck Dental Care!<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s how important your oral health is to us. We have gone above and beyond so that we\u2019re able to help our most fearful patients get the dental care they need for a healthy smile! <\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Be Haunted By Dental Fear!<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n

As Halloween approaches and you get geared up to enjoy the delightful frights of the season, consider letting go of the real horror that\u2019s gripped your life for so long, and try sedation dentistry. <\/span><\/p>\n

Our team at Beck Dental Care wants you to have the healthiest, most beautiful smile possible, and our sedation dentistry can help give you that. Call our Columbia, TN dental office \u00a0today at (931) 388-8452<\/a> or fill out our <\/span><\/p>\n
