The Overall Health Benefits
of Sedation Dentistry
Minor oral health issues that go unchecked can eventually turn into more severe problems. Studies show dental fear increases the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and early tooth loss. These issues can affect your ability to eat, drink, speak, and socialize, while advanced gum disease is associated with worsening symptoms if you have diabetes, respiratory disease, or heart disease. Oral conscious and IV sedation dentistry will lessen your gag reflex, suppress pain responses, reduce anxiety, and make your dental experience more pleasant.
