Easing Anxiety Around Dental Work

What stands between you and better oral health? For some, the issue of dental anxiety makes it difficult to arrange the appropriate services, even when they have active concerns about their oral health. At our Baxter, MN dentist’s office, we can make it easier for anxious patients to see us for the different services that we provide. For those who can benefit, we can offer nitrous oxide during an appointment. Its effects wear off quickly after your procedure, but during your time in the dentist’s chair, this gas can help you feel calm and collected. Whether you need help with all dental appointments or just need support for a longer or more involved service, the option to use sedation can make care easier for you to arrange!

Does Discomfort About Dental Work Affect You?

If feelings of unease about general dental services, or about a specific upcoming treatment, affect you, it can be difficult to arrange the smile support you need. When appointments are delayed, patients become more vulnerable to problems with their health, and more likely to experience complications that do require more involved services. At our office, we can make time in the dentist’s chair easier. Nitrous oxide provides a safe, dependable approach to sedation, one that lets you remain conscious during treatment and recover quickly after treatment.

Using Nitrous Oxide To Help You Feel Comfortable

With nitrous oxide, we can provide support for patients who need help to stay calm and comfortable during an appointment. The gas is administered continuously during your appointment. It lets you remain conscious and comfortable, but it helps to ease the feelings of unease that people sometimes have about professional oral health services. Once your appointment has concluded, the effects can wear off, and you can return to your daily life!

We Can Help You Keep Up With Your Smile Care

By committing to regular dental checkups and cleanings, you can actually reduce your risk for problems with your smile that might require more involved services. Through these appointments, we evaluate your teeth and gums, and we perform careful cleanings to remove plaque and tartar. Cleanings lower your risk for problems that could make restorative work necessary in the future; during regular evaluations, your dentist can let you know if there are concerns that already call for treatment.
