Sedation Dentistry in Phoenix & Queen City

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Picture the following scenario: You are stretched out in a chair at your dentist’s office holding a remote as you try to tune into your favorite Arizona radio station. An assistant clips a paper bib around your neck. Someone switches on a bright overhead light and you see latex-gloved hands moving toward your open mouth. You close your eyes.

As you read this, does your heart begin racing? Are your palms sweaty?

If so, you may be a good candidate for sedation dentistry. Oral sedation benefits nervous dental patients in Phoenix & Queen City every day. Moderate sedation is used for all types of dental procedures such as root canals, dental implants, and wisdom teeth removal. If you are considering extensive restorative or cosmetic dental work, conscious sedation may allow your dentist to complete multiple procedures in a single visit.

Don’t let fear prevent you from getting the dental treatment you need. Schedule a visit with Drs. Joseph, Brian, Eric & Scott Harris to learn about conscious sedation dentistry.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

Some people experience severe anxiety when undergoing dental treatment. With oral conscious sedation, it is possible to relax during dental procedures instead of being tense and fearful. Oral sedation dentistry, relaxation dentistry, conscious sedation and anxiety-free dentistry are all terms used to describe this type of treatment. In addition to alleviating anxiety, oral conscious sedation can help patients with a variety of conditions.

You may want to consider oral conscious sedation if you have any of the following issues:

Strong gag reflex
Fear of needles
Sensitive teeth
Fear and anxiety associated with dental treatment
Difficulty getting numb
A history of negative dental experiences
Trouble controlling body movement due to Parkinson’s disease, Cerebral Palsy or related condition
Need extensive dental treatment requiring lengthy dental visits

If you have avoided dental treatment due to any of these factors, give us a call at 602-955-8600. We can give you more information about sedation options and help you determine which one is right for you. At Harris Dental we do all we can to make your visit as comfortable as possible. We look forward to discussing your oral health and dental goals.
