Addressing Patient Concerns: Overcoming Dental Anxiety

It’s completely normal to feel a sense of unease when thinking about going to the dentist. In fact, many patients experience varying degrees of dental anxiety. This can stem from a fear of pain, previous negative experiences, sensitivity to dental sounds, or even just the discomfort of sitting in the dental chair for an extended period. At Lexington Dental of Owasso, we take these concerns seriously and aim to create a positive, anxiety-free experience for our patients.

Who Can Benefit from IV Sedation Dentistry?

No matter your reason for feeling apprehensive about visiting the dentist, our team is here to provide compassionate care and the highest level of comfort.

Patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety.
Those with a sensitive gag reflex or difficulty sitting still for long periods.
Individuals undergoing lengthy or complex procedures.
Patients with a low pain threshold or extreme tooth sensitivity.
People who have difficulty getting numb with local anesthesia alone.

The Benefits of General IV Sedation Dentistry

IV sedation offers several benefits, making it one of the most effective sedation methods available. Unlike oral sedation or nitrous oxide, IV sedation is administered directly into the bloodstream, which allows it to take effect quickly and gives the dentist greater control over the level of sedation. Here are some of the top benefits you can expect when choosing IV sedation at Lexington Dental of Owasso:

IV sedation works almost immediately, giving patients a deep sense of relaxation. Unlike general anesthesia, which renders patients completely unconscious, IV sedation allows patients to stay in a deeply relaxed state while still being responsive to verbal commands. This means you won’t feel anxious or stressed, but you can still communicate with the dentist if needed.

With IV sedation, your senses are dulled, meaning you won’t feel pain or discomfort during your procedure. Many patients report feeling as though their dental appointment was over in just a few minutes, even if the procedure took an hour or more. This is because IV sedation affects your perception of time, allowing you to sit comfortably for extended periods.

One of the greatest advantages of IV sedation is the control it gives the dentist. Since the sedative is administered intravenously, the dentist can adjust the sedation level throughout the procedure to ensure you remain comfortable. If more sedation is needed, it can be increased instantly; if less is required, the amount can be reduced.

Many patients have little to no memory of their dental treatment while under IV sedation. This can be a huge advantage for those who may have experienced traumatic dental visits in the past. You’ll be able to get the dental care you need without the anxiety of remembering every detail of the procedure.

At Lexington Dental of Owasso, your safety is our top priority. During IV sedation, we carefully monitor your vital signs, including heart rate and oxygen levels, throughout the procedure. Our experienced team is trained to ensure that you are sedated safely, giving you peace of mind while you’re in our care.
