| Sedation (Relaxation Dentistry) O'Fallon, IL For many people, the thought of visiting the dentist can cause anxiety that may prevent them from getting the dental work they need. Whether it is the sound of a dental drill or a fear of needles, avoiding the dentist is something that too many people do at the expense of their own oral health. Unfortunately, when you avoid the dentist, the dental problems you have can worsen and make your visit to the dentist even more necessary. Dr. Thompson understands that many people would much rather avoid the dentist than visit the dentist. That is why she goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable. Dr Thompson says, "Soft Touch Dentistry is not just the name of my practice, it describes my approach to my patients." If you are avoiding the dentist office for anxiety reasons, sedation or sleep dentistry may be the answer for you. Sedation dentistry allows you to have the dental procedure you need without the anxiety or fear you may normally feel at the dentist. If you are scared to death of the dentist, Dr. Thompson can provide oral sedation (relaxation dentistry), which is just a small pill that you take prior to your dental appointment and then another small pill that Dr. Thompson places under your tongue during your dental visit. This allows you to be heavily sedated during your visit and anxiety free. Oral sedation dentistry is a wonderful option because it allows you to be drowsy, but still conscious and unable to perceive any discomfort during your dental appointment. For many patients, sedation dentistry allows them to sleep through their dental visit and forget about any of the procedures. |
