We all know that going to the dentist can be a stressful, scary experience. While most traditional dentists at least attempt to offer a low-stress environment, the visit still often ends up being painful, nerve-wracking, and all-around unpleasant. However, here at Golden Dental Wellness Center, we have Relaxation, Sedation, and Pain-Management programs that cater to those who have a deep fear of the dentist. If you’re nervous about your next check-up or dental procedure, read on to see if we can help transform your next visit to the dentist!
For those that are simply on-edge for their entire visit, we have a special Relaxation Dentistry program for you! This program encompasses a wide range of services, from foot massages while procedures take place, aromatherapy using calming oils and rubs, or even introduction of anti-anxiety medication! For those with extreme anxiety about visiting the dentist, we also offer door-to-door programs that begin with relaxation medication the night before your appointment to ensure good sleep, and end with you back at your house after being driven home by a companion after your procedure!
If you have an extreme case of anxiety about dental procedures, have trouble staying numb from local anesthetics, or difficulty sitting still for long periods of time, we offer Sedation Dentistry! This option starts with a consult to determine the exact sedation schedule that will be followed in the routine, as well as the level of sedation required. In more mild cases, we can follow the same routines as our relaxation dentistry program, perhaps introducing a light dose of nitrous oxide during longer procedures. For severe cases, we can start with an oral prescription sedative pill an hour before your procedure, or even an IV-administered sedation for complex and long visits.
In addition, if visiting the dentist has been painful for you in the past, please notify us when you make your appointment! We have techniques and strategies to mitigate pain during your procedure to make sure you are both comfortable and your teeth are well cared for! If any of these options sound like they may apply to you, please mention that you saw them in Natural Awakenings when you call Golden Dental Wellness Center at (516) 627-8400!
