Benefits of Sedation Dentistry
Dr. Norkiewicz of Rockville Dental Arts in Rockville, MD is well aware of the realities of dental anxiety and dental fear. As your dentist in Rockville, MD, they know that you may hesitate to get proper care or treatment because of anxiety around dental visits. Like you, a huge portion of the adult population actually hesitates to get checkups and cleanings, as well as more involved treatment, until necessary. This can lead to major and costly problems, and the benefits of sedation dentistry go well beyond saving money.
When we say sedation dentistry we mean oral sedation, which does a lot more than put you into a sort of twilight prior to your treatment. When you discuss your needs with our sedation dentist, you will learn that the benefits of sedation dentistry include:
Reduction of anxiety prior to the visit
This is very helpful over the short-term as it guarantees you won’t feel any sort of panic in the hours before treatment, and will indeed come in for the care.
Eliminate pain and anxiety during the visit
