If you need restorative dental work to stop a cavity that is attacking a tooth, you should consider this a priority treatment. After all, waiting to undergo professional care leaves decay more time to spread. Patients who wait too long may find that the only option left to them is to have their tooth extracted! That being said, your dentist wants to make sure your experience during any treatment you need is as comfortable as possible. With dedicated care and attention – and the use of modern treatment tools – your dentist can limit discomfort. For those who need extra support, nitrous oxide sedation can add an additional degree of relaxation.

How Dental Sedation Helps Anxious Patients

Nitrous oxide sedation allows patients to feel relaxed during a procedure, even when they might normally suffer anxiety during their time in the dentist’s chair. The gas is breathed through your nose throughout your treatment. Its effects are mild enough to be used safely for kids, and you can recover quickly enough from it to safely drive yourself home.

You Put Your Oral Health At Risk When You Avoid Restorative Dental Work

Dental anxiety is something your dentist respects as a real issue, and they will work to minimize your discomfort. After all, if patients do not feel comfortable visiting their dentist, they can face complications from untreated dental troubles. A cavity grows worse as time passes – a condition that can initially be fixed with a filling will grow until the treatment needed is more involved. Remember, a cavity can do irreparable harm to a tooth if you give it the chance. At that point, the only option left is to extract your tooth.
