Beau Ideal – Stress Free

For many fearful patients, sedation dentistry makes receiving needed dental care easy.

Millions of Americans feel tremendous anxiety concerning healthcare treatment in general, and dental treatment in particular. In fact, fear coupled with embarrassment and shame has kept nearly half of all adult Americans from seeking necessary dental treatment for years, if not decades. Fortunately, many of these people have found out that “dental phobia” doesn't have to keep them away from the dentist any longer! Amenities like headphones, movies, and nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) will help take the edge off, but often aren't enough to completely alleviate fear.

Most patients snooze through the appointment, feel no discomfort, and have little or no memory of their appointment. Years of dental neglect are often erased in just one appointment. Many of these fearful patients begin chewing without pain and smiling with confidence for the first time in years! These benefits are often life-changing for people who have put off getting their mouths healthy or enhancing their smiles.

Sedation dentistry is even beneficial for patients who aren't fearful, but would like to be more comfortable during lengthy dental procedures.
