Are you or a family member apprehensive about going to the dentist? Has an experience with pain or discomfort caused you to start panicking when you think about having your teeth worked on? Have you neglected going to the dentist and feared the amount of work that might need to be completed? At Mason Dental, our goal is to keep our patients calm and comfortable.
If your past or current situation is causing a lot of uneasiness, there are options available to ease your fear and reduce (or eliminate) your pain with the necessary services. Oral sedation (sometimes called sleep dentistry) has helped countless Grapevine dental patients calmly undergo dental treatment. It is not an experimental procedure but has been used safely in various forms since the 1800s.
To discuss sleep dentistry, call Mason Dental to schedule a no-pressure consultation. Dr. Mason will explain your sedation options and answer any questions. If you decide on sedation, Dr. Mason will refer you to a specialist if required (depending on the type of sedation used).
It is vital to understand the difference between topical analgesics and sedation which are used both alone and simultaneously. Analgesics help numb the gums and nerves connected with your teeth so you don’t feel the pain. Sedation medications influence the nervous system and deliver a feeling of peace and relaxation. You may choose to be minimally sedated, where you are quiet but still awake, or elect general anesthesia which renders you completely unconscious. Together, these two solutions dramatically improve the treatment experience for patients suffering from dental anxiety, a very common condition.
Regardless of the type and level of sedation you decide to use, Dr. Mason will proceed with patience and understanding. Oral sedation assists in making your dental visit peaceful so you can treat all of your dental dilemmas and restore your health. Taking care of decay, infections, and other serious problems brings peace of mind and reduces the risk of further damage including tooth loss.
Mason Dental in Grapevine is dedicated to oral health and complete patient satisfaction from the first visit through the completion of treatment. We offer unmatched dental care including implant restorations, implant-supported dentures, and periodontal disease treatment.
