What Sedation Options Are Available for Anxious Patients in Dentistry?
Dental anxiety is a common barrier to patients getting the treatment they need.  In fact, it’s estimated that nearly 30-40% of the population experiences some form of dental fear, with around 10% suffering from extreme dental phobia.  Whether it’s due to a past traumatic experience, fear of needles, or the sounds and smells associated with the dental office, anxiety can prevent patients from seeking the care they need…sometimes for years.
