Afraid of the dentist? Below, the team at Legacy Dental Arts shares three ways sedation dentistry will help calm your fears:

• Eliminates Pain: The idea of sore and achy teeth and gums is what keeps most people away from the dentist’s chair. Sedation completely eliminates this concern. After the appointment, you will be pain free and have a beautiful smile to boot.
• Reduces Stress: If you start to stress out a few days or weeks before your appointment, sedation will put your mind at ease. The sedative administered during your procedure has a calming effect and will make your fears instantly fade away.  
• Improves Comfort: If you’re already worried about your exam, chances are you won’t be able to get comfortable during it. Sedation dentistry curbs anxious feelings, so you’ll notice an increase in your comfort level.
