Say “Goodbye” to Dental Anxiety

Are you nervous about visiting the dentist to the point that you put off treatment even if you know you really need it? This is all too common, but we’re able to help patients overcome their anxiety with sedation dentistry. It allows anyone to remain calm and relaxed in the dental chair and get what they need without stress. If you’re ready to have a different kind of dental experience, contact our sedation dentists at Peabody Smile Design today.

How Oral Conscious Sedation Works

On paper, oral conscious sedation dentistry sounds too good to be true for those who don’t like visiting the dentist. We’ll prescribe you an anti-anxiety medication to take on the day of your appointment, and we’ll time it so that you feel its full effects by the time you sit in the chair. You’ll remain awake but be very relaxed, and the appointment will feel like it’s over in a second. We can discuss which medication would be best for you and go over anything else we can do to make your visit comfortable before your procedure.
