Easing Dental Anxiety at Advanced Dentistry of Blue Ash
If the thought of going to the dentist makes your heart race, you’re not alone. Dental anxiety is incredibly common, and at Advanced Dentistry of Blue Ash, we understand how stressful it can feel. Our goal is to make every visit as calm, comfortable, and positive as possible.
What Is Dental Anxiety?
Dental anxiety is the feeling of nervousness, fear, or stress about dental visits or procedures. It can range from mild uneasiness to a strong phobia that causes patients to delay or avoid care altogether. Unfortunately, putting off dental appointments can lead to more complex issues, which often makes anxiety worse over time.
You Deserve Comfortable Care
At Advanced Dentistry of Blue Ash, we believe no one should have to choose between their comfort and their oral health. That’s why we offer safe, effective sedation options to help you relax during your visit.
Sedation Options We Offer
We tailor sedation to your needs, helping you feel calm and in control throughout your treatment.
1. Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide is a gentle and fast-acting sedative inhaled through a small mask over your nose. It helps you feel relaxed and at ease and once the gas is turned off, the effects wear off quickly so you can safely drive yourself home after your appointment.
2. Conscious Sedation
For patients who experience more significant anxiety, we offer oral conscious sedation. You’ll take a prescribed medication before your appointment that helps you feel deeply relaxed but still awake and able to respond. Many patients describe it as feeling calm and carefree while their dental work is completed.
Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation is a great option for:
Patients with dental anxiety or fear
Those with a sensitive gag reflex
People who have had negative dental experiences in the past
Patients needing longer or more complex procedures
