If dental anxiety is preventing you from receiving the dental care you need, you’re not alone. Dental anxiety is estimated to affect 36% of the population, with 12% of those suffering from extreme dental fear. Common issues include worrying about an injection or procedure perceived to be painful, the discomfort of keeping one’s mouth open for a long time or the need to undergo multiple procedures.

Commonly called laughing gas, nitrous oxide is a colorless gas mixed with oxygen that you inhale through a small mask that fits over your nose. Nitrous oxide is an ideal option for alleviating mild to moderate dental anxiety and helping you relax. While under nitrous oxide, you remain conscious and experience a sense of well-being or euphoria. After the nitrous oxide is turned off, you breathe in oxygen only for a few minutes and the effects wear off quickly. This type of sedation doesn’t produce any lingering side effects, so you can drive yourself home.
Oral conscious sedation is administered in the form of a liquid or pill, typically an hour before a procedure. Oral sedatives called benzodiazepines decrease activity in the parts of your brain that control fear or anxiety, so you’ll feel calm, relaxed and drowsy. The effects of oral sedation range from mild to moderate, depending on the dosage you’re prescribed. Although some people drift off to sleep, we can easily awaken you during or following treatment. Due to some lingering sedative effects, somebody will need to drive you home.
As the strongest type of sedation, general anesthesia is an ideal option if you have severe dental phobia or are undergoing lengthy, complex treatment. During the procedure, a board-certified anesthesiologist administers the anesthesia and closely monitors your heart rate, blood pressure and breathing. General anesthesia induces an unconscious state, therefore you won’t be able to respond nor feel any pain during your procedure. Side effects can last for up to 12 hours, therefore a designated adult must accompany you to our office, stay during your procedure and recovery and drive you home.
Whether you’re avoiding going to the dentist due to dental anxiety or another reason, your smile and general health will suffer. Without regular professional cleanings, bacteria accumulates, plaque can harden into tartar and the end result is often tooth decay and periodontal disease. Left untreated, gum disease can result in periodontitis. This severe form of gum disease can damage soft tissue, eventually destroy the underlying bone and cause tooth loss. If the sights, sounds or smells of a dental visit are preventing you from visiting the dentist, sedation dentistry in Naples, FL can help protect your oral, emotional and overall health. Don’t let an oral health challenge become a whole-body health challenge! Ask our team about sedation dentistry options and receive the life-changing, lifesaving dental care you need—in your comfort zone.
