Pain-free Sedation Dentistry, a dream come true for patients with dental anxiety

What comes to your mind when you think about seeing the dentist? Chances are, you don’t imagine yourself having anything close to a spa-like experience. However, thanks to sedation dentistry, dental visits are being transformed into pleasant experiences for everyone. At Vivid Dental in Houston, Texas, we offer pain-free sedation dentistry to ensure you are comfortable and relaxed during dental procedures.

What is sedation dentistry?

While it’s normal to feel a bit nervous when visiting the dentist, for some people, the fear is so intense that they put off dental appointments entirely until they have dental challenges. Sedation dentistry can help you not miss out on crucial dental procedures.

At Vivid Dental, we use anesthesia to carry out procedures such as root canals, dental implants, tooth fillings, and tooth extractions to reduce discomfort during treatment. However, for some patients, anesthesia isn’t enough. As such, we go a step further and offer sedation dentistry in the form of nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, to our patients. Nitrous oxide is administered through a mask placed over your nose while seated in a dental chair. The laughing gas makes you feel relaxed, helping you undergo dental procedures stress-free.

Benefits of pain-free dentistry

With over 60% of patients worldwide suffering from dental fear, sedation dentistry is a dream come true for patients with dental anxiety. Here are the benefits of pain-free dentistry:

• Improves oral health: With sedation dentistry, you can now access the treatments you would have otherwise missed due to dental fear.
• Reduces dental visits: Pain-free dentistry means that your dentist can combine several dental procedures within one appointment. For instance, tooth fillings can be done the same day as a root canal or extraction.
• Improves dentist-patient relationship: Sedation dentistry enables dentists to work on patients easily and quickly since they are calm and relaxed.
