Sedation Dentistry Services in Salt Lake City

SALT LAKE CITY - Nov. 17, 2015 - PRLog -- Dental patients who experience extreme anxiety during dental visits can now get the oral care they need. Reason 2 Smile, based in Salt Lake City, Utah, offers sedation dentistry to its clients, a much needed service for many people. Research shows that between 30 million and 40 million of Americans have some type of dental phobia or anxiety. Sedation dentistry was created to counteract people’s fears so that they could receive the dental care that they assuredly need.

How does sedation dentistry work? It’s defined as medication used to help patients get through dental appointments. Medication can be delivered through varying methods, including pills, intravenous, and inhalation. Reason 2 Smile’s staff were trained by DOCS, a respected sedation dentistry training organization. They are ready to provide all three types of delivery methods. According to Dr. Vernon, every patient is different and him and his staff with sit down with every patient to figure out which method will work best for their situation.

The service, say experts, is particularly useful for some children, who are even more susceptible to dental anxiety.

Furthermore, patients will be more relaxed, which leads to less muscle soreness after procedures. Some patients worry about being unconscious. Dr. Vernon says that while some types of sedation treatments will do that, at his office the patient will be alert enough to ask and answer questions. And later, memories of the experience will be softened to a general, comfortable impression of the visit.
