When to Consider Sedation Dentistry for Your Dental Visits 

Do you get nervous at the thought of seeing the dentist? Many people deal with this anxiety, making it harder to keep up with routine dental care. But our dentists in Woodbridge, VA, offer dental sedation to help! You might consider this option for any of the following reasons.

Dental Anxiety

If you’re afraid of having any dental work done or sitting through cleanings, sedation can help you feel calmer — and ensure you receive needed dental care.

Fear of Needles

You might consider dental sedation if you’re afraid of needles and need to get local anesthesia injections for a procedure.

Gag Reflex Issues

Do you have a sensitive gag reflex? This can make it harder for us to do dental work while also being uncomfortable for you. But sedation can help ease this issue.

Tooth Sensitivity

If your teeth are highly sensitive to touch, cold, or heat, we can use sedation to help overcome this problem.

Low Sensitivity to Anesthesia

For some people, anesthesia doesn’t work as effectively as it should. Being sedated helps ensure you don’t experience any discomfort if you have reduced anesthesia sensitivity.

Trouble Sitting Still

Does a physical, emotional, or cognitive condition make it hard to remain still without fidgeting or moving around? We recommend sedation to help your visits go smoothly.

Difficulty Following Instructions

If you have trouble with this due to cognitive conditions or other causes, sedation can help us perform dental work.
