For many people a trip to the dentist is just about the worst thing in the world. Dental anxiety is not something people make up, it’s real. A fear of the dentist can come from bad childhood experiences with an inexperienced dentist. It can come from knowing you have big dental problems and the time you’ll need to be in the dental chair freaks you out. Whatever the situation or reason you hate to go to the dentist, we suggest you talk to the experts at Moore Family Dentistry about Las Vegas conscious sedation.
Some people have a terrible time in the dental chair simply because they feel like they’re losing control of the situation. Others hate the thought of someone having their hands in their mouth. People who know they need lots of dental treatments because they haven’t taken care of their teeth are generally afraid to go to the dentist.
For those with a fear of the dentist, Las Vegas conscious sedation is something that can help them get the dental treatment they need without the panic they previously experienced. The first thing you need to do when you make an appointment with Dr. Moore’s office is to be sure you tell the staff that you have dental anxiety. Once they know your situation they can plan your dental treatments so that you’ll be completely relaxed in the dental chair.
Conscious sedation involves taking a mild sedative to relax you while you’re having dental procedures done. Sedation can be given orally, it can be inhaled, or it can be given intravenously. And if you try those treatments and you’re still not comfortable at the dental office, we can use general anesthesia to ease your fears completely.
If you have a fear of the dentist, call the office of Moore Family Dentistry at 702-791-1010 in Las Vegas or 702-254-6700 in Summerlin and make an appointment. Be sure to let them know you’re interested in Las Vegas conscious sedation.
