You Will Relax With Our Gentle Approach

Choose Light Sedation

Like some of our patients once did, you may feel nervous when you think about anyone working on your teeth. It’s OK if this describes you. We’d like to extend an invitation to give our gentle dental treatment a try. Even if past dental visits have been less than ideal, we take special measures to keep your care as stress-free as possible.

We can offer effective sedation options to help you relax. Inhaled sedation is a gentle option. Once you breathe laughing gas in through a comfortable mask, your cares will float away as you relax in our dental chair. It wears off right away, so you can safely drive yourself home.

You May Need Deeper Sedation

If you have more extensive anxiety or a lengthier procedure, your dentist can recommend oral conscious sedation. Your dentist will prescribe a small, safe pill that you’ll take before your procedure. By the time it begins, you’ll feel relaxed from head to toe, perhaps groggy. The effect lasts for several hours, so you will need a ride home.

Besides our sedation options, our staff is trained to listen closely to your needs and answer any questions you have about your dental care. We’ll go at a pace you feel comfortable with, so there are no surprises. We’ll also administer anesthesia to make sure your mouth is numb before treatment. You can even ask for a warm blanket and watch TV while we take care of your smile.

Common Questions About Relieving Dental Anxiety

How can I overcome dental anxiety?

If your dental anxiety keeps you from getting the routine care you need, your oral health will inevitably suffer the consequences. That’s why your comfort is so important to our friendly team at Charlotte Dentistry. We’re committed to providing patient-centered care, so you always feel relaxed and comfortable during your visits. Aside from creature comforts like blankets, we can provide dental sedation to calm your nerves if needed.

Is dental sedation available?

We offer two different types of dental sedation to help you feel more relaxed during treatment. If you have mild dental anxiety, you can take the edge off with laughing gas, an inhaled form of sedation that’s safe for all ages. It takes effect and wears off immediately. Oral conscious sedation can be prescribed to you before your appointment if your anxiety is moderate to severe, so you can reach a deeper state of relaxation.

Why is relieving dental anxiety important?

Fear of the dentist can be so severe that a patient will not come into the office for decades at a time. Because oral health affects overall health, this person is likely suffering not only in their mouth but also in other areas of their body. It’s important that we find a solution for the fear so that every patient can remain healthy.

Are there steps I can take at home to relieve dental anxiety?

We believe that a relaxing visit begins at home. If you start to feel anxious about your procedure, simply let your body go limp and take several deep breaths slowly. Picture yourself lying comfortably in our dental chair, fully relaxed and at peace. Then, when you’re actually in the office, you can use this same technique to help ease any residual anxiety.
