One day you\u2019re chowing down on some delicious hard\ncandy, and you suddenly hear a loud crunch. A jolt of pain shoots through your\nmouth. You spit out what\u2019s in your mouth only to discover that a piece of your\ntooth has chipped off! If you\u2019re going through a dental emergency like this\none, don\u2019t worry. Your emergency dentist in Gainesville offers many ways to\nsoothe your dental worries, even if you\u2019re afraid of getting treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You Might Be Anxious <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the COVID-19 pandemic in full swing, there are plenty\nof reasons to be worried about the outcome of this disease. You or someone you\nlove might get sick, which is no laughing matter. To top it all off, virtually\nall elective dental procedures have been postponed until further notice. That\nmeans that your regular dental cleanings are effectively canceled for the time\nbeing. However, your dentist remains open for emergency treatments. But what\nshould you do if you\u2019re too anxious to go to the dentist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Your Dentist Can Alleviate Your Worries <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As many as 20% of Americans have dental phobia, or a fear of\nthe dentist. Because this is so common, your dentist offers sedation as a way\nfor you to get the care you need without any anxiety. Your sedation dentist in\nGainesville offers three main methods of sedation to help you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Nitrous oxide. <\/strong>A mask will be placed over\nyour nose through which you will breathe a colorless, odorless gas. Within\nminutes, waves of euphoria will wash over you. Best of all, the effects wear\noff quickly, allowing you to resume your day as normal soon after your\nappointment. <\/li><li><strong>Oral conscious sedation.<\/strong> For more\nmoderately anxious patients, we can prescribe a pill to take about an hour\nbefore your appointment is set to begin. You\u2019ll feel so calm you might even\nfall asleep during your procedure! The effects should last the rest of the day,\nand you shouldn\u2019t remember much of your treatment. <\/li><li><strong>IV sedation.<\/strong> One step below general\nanesthesia which leaves patients completely unconscious, IV sedation keeps you\nawake, but just barely, with a drug injected intravenously. Like with oral\nconscious sedation, you\u2019ll be awake enough to respond to your dentist\u2019s\nrequests, but you shouldn\u2019t remember anything at all afterward. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re suffering through a dental emergency, try not to\npanic. Simply call your dentist and alter them as to what\u2019s going on. Using\nwhichever method of sedation is right for you, they should be more than able to\nalleviate your anxieties and allow you to undergo the care you need to get your\nsmile back in great shape! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.exceptionaldentistry.com\/dr-art-mowery.html\">Dr. Art Mowery<\/a>\nis a dentist who is Board-Certified in IV sedation, so he can help even the\nmost anxious of patients get the treatment they require.
