[BOISE, 5/12/2016] – Caring Smiles Dental Clinic, a dental office in Boise, uses oral and intravenous (IV) sedation for patients who have a fear of dentists. The dental office reveals that 75 percent of U.S. adults are afraid of seeing the dentist. They add that about 10 percent of those adults are so frightened of dental care that they avoid it by any means.

Oral Sedation

Caring Smiles Dental Clinic says that patients who have dentophobia can choose oral sedation. According to them, patients only need to take a pill before the appointment. They say that it will put the patient in a deep state of relaxation.

The dental clinic shares that while the patient is conscious, they will not go through high stress levels. They say that most patients report feeling at ease and experiencing less pain during the treatment.

However, they remind patients to bring someone to the appointment, as they will need that person to take them home afterwards. They inform the patients that they will be under sedation for an extended period of time so they cannot function properly by themselves.

IV Sedation

Caring Smiles Dental Clinic shares that patients also have the option to choose IV Sedation. They say that this gives patients a better dental experience. They mention that it leads to better results and less pain after the treatment.
The dental clinic shares that during IV sedation, their specialists will administer the medication through a small needle in the patient’s arm or hand. They note that sedation dentistry is different from general anesthesia.
