Overcoming Your Fear of the Dentist

The fear of the dentist can be so overwhelming that you forgo necessary dental treatment.

You dread getting into the dentist chair because you feel like you’ll be judged. Or, you’ve had a previously bad experience with your old dentist. There’s also a fear that you’ll experience pain during treatment, and that alone makes you cancel appointments.

Unfortunately, untreated dental issues will persist, and they can become a big problem.

We don’t judge. We don’t criticize. We’re here to help.

At CascadesONE Dental, you’ll experience unmatched dental care from one doctor, in one location, and at one all-inclusive price. We use dental sedation, calming guidance, and our expertise to present a positive, pain-free dental experience.

A Dreamlike Experience in the Dental Chair

Sedation allows patients to feel completely relaxed throughout their visit. It numbs the mouth to such a degree that all that’s felt is a slight pressure. In some instances, patients can simply doze off and wake up to complete treatment!

At our Sterling dental office, we offer three forms of sedation:

  • Oral Conscious Sedation – A small pill is given that helps patients feel like they’re dozing off or taking a light nap.
  • IV Conscious Sedation – Sedation is administered through an IV and offers a similar relaxed, dreamlike feeling while receiving treatment.
  • General Anesthesia – Patients experience the deepest level of sedation as they sleep through their visit.

Our sedation dentists break the cycle of avoidance and worsening oral health. It’s more than simply numbing you during the visit. It’s about breaking down those fears and past traumatic experiences that have held you back from getting treatment.

We’re so excited that you’re ready to reclaim your smile; our sedation options are sure to help make it so.

What to Expect During a Sedation Dental Appointment

Comfort and safety are our priority, so we take a systematic approach to your assessment and treatment. Our doctors, a board-certified anesthesiologist, and care team will take every precaution to ensure the best experience and outcome as you get dental treatment under sedation.

We begin by assessing your medical history and listening to your concerns. This will be very thorough, including discussing past illnesses, allergies, medications, and past procedures. The assessment ensures you’re an ideal candidate for sedation. You’ll also have the opportunity to voice your concerns, ask questions, and help our doctors gauge your anxiety and needs. Upon consent, we’ll set the date for your procedure and provide pre-treatment instructions.

Our dentists have advanced sedation dentistry training, which allows them to administer oral or IV conscious sedation options. If you opted for sleep dentistry, our anesthesiologist will administer and be with you while the anesthesia takes effect. We then begin monitoring your vital signs to ensure comfort and safety. Once you’re relaxed and ready to go, our team begins treatment.

We’ll stay by your side for a period of time after treatment. You’ll feel a bit groggy and disoriented, but this will soon pass. At discharge, someone will be required to pick you up. Post-procedure care includes resting up, following post-care instructions, and not getting into strenuous activity.
