After having a few dental appointments, your anxiety might actually go away to the point where you don’t need it because you’ve had so many good recent dental experiences.
Once you experience more positive dental experiences, you won’t feel like pushing off preventive dentistry treatments anymore. The best way to avoid long and uncomfortable treatments down the line is with preventive dentistry.
Sedation dentistry can also help you have a pain-free dental experience. Whether you suffer from a strong gag reflex or dental work feels incredibly painful to you, this can completely transform your experience.
There are also some patients who might struggle to sit still for long periods either due to a physical or mental disability.
