If you suffer from dental anxiety, you are certainly not alone! Dental anxiety is way more common in people than not. Drs. Plant and Tour certainly do everything they can to make sure all of their clients and patients feel at complete ease during their appointments and procedures.
At Limoges Dental Centre, managing your dental anxiety is one of our top priorities and avoiding your appointments due to your anxiety is certainly a thing of the past. Drs Plant and Tour continuously keep up with the evolving technology in the dental industry.
At Limoges, Drs. Plant and Tour offer two types of “sedation dentistry’’ options to their patients.
Oral Sedation is the better option for patients with a milder level of dental anxiety. This involves a mild sedative prescribed to ease feelings of fear and anxiety to ensure treatments are completed in an anxious-free space. There will be post-operative information discussed between the patient and their dentist due to the effects of this sedation. It is also mandatory that someone is prepared to drive the patient home after their appointment.
Inhalation Sedation is also known as “Laughing Gas” by most. Nitrous oxide is breathed through a nosepiece and is common in the industry. It allows patients to feel completely relaxed, but still aware of their surroundings. With this option there are no long lasting effects so you will be able to drive yourself home after your appointment.
Aside from these two options, we also have a few helpful tips and suggestions to share with you for managing dental anxiety
