Who Can Benefit From Anesthesia Services?
. 2.
. .
Patients with:
- Fear and Anxiety
Nearly half of people with dental problems avoid dental care because
of their fears and anxiety. Modern, safe anesthesia techniques allow
the fearful patient to have dental procedures accomplished without
the anxiety associated with dentistry.
- Low Pain Threshold
People perceive pain differently. Some have difficulty with numbing.
With general anesthesia and sedation techniques, the perception of
pain can be altered and patients can be virtually pain free during
the treatment.
- Active Gag Reflexes
Some patients will gag before the smallest x-ray film is even placed
in their mouth, or before they have a simple impression taken. Using
anesthesia services can eliminate the problems caused by gagging.
- Extensive Treatment
For sophisticated procedures such as implant dentistry, or full mouth
rehabilitation, and extended procedures such as periodontal surgery
and root canal therapy, anesthesia services provide increased patient
comfort. Completing the treatment under general anesthesia also minimizes
the need for multiple visits.
- Special Needs
For physically and mentally challenged patients, and for individuals
emotionally uncomfortable in the traditional dental office setting,
anesthesia services can provide both a way to accomplish complete
dental care as well as a more pleasant experience.
