We Understand Dental Anxiety

sedation dentistry Jefferson City

If you tense up just thinking about going to the dentist, you may benefit from sedation dentistry offered by Jefferson City Dental Care in Jefferson City.

Millions of Americans stress out when they have to see the dentist. It is referred to as dental anxiety. There is a more severe form, too, called dental phobia. In both, some people would rather skip the dentist altogether rather than sit down for a checkup. The problem with that, of course, is it puts their dental health at risk.

There are lots of reasons why people develop anxiety or phobia over dental care. It often stems from a bad experience they had with a dentist as a kid. Fear of pain may be involved, as well as a fear of anesthetics and their possible side effects.

Whatever the cause, sedation dentistry has helped millions of people get through their appointments.
