About 36% of Americans suffer from dental fears and phobias. You can\u2019t avoid your dentist forever. You have many options to conquer your fears to get the care you need. In addition to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kernersvilledentist.com\/relaxation-dentistry.html\">sedation dentistry<\/a>, here are a few coping techniques to help keep you comfortable and relaxed in the dentist\u2019s chair.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take Someone with You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have anxiety or fear about visiting the dentist, take a friend or loved one with you. A familiar face can help you relax to calm your anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose the Right Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Look for a dentist who has experience with patients suffering from dental-related fears. A sedation dentist is a great option because they offer personalized solutions to conquer your fear. Sedation dentistry is a safe and effective solution to provide comfortable care for patients with unique situations. Your dentist will help determine which type of sedation is right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Dental Sedation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many types of dental sedation, but the most common include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Nitrous Oxide:<\/strong> Better known as \u201claughing gas,\u201d the inhaled sedative takes effect quickly and wears off just as fast. It allows you to become very relaxed without any lingering side effects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Oral Conscious Sedation:<\/strong> Oral conscious sedation is a prescribed medication that offers a deeper level of relaxation than nitrous oxide. It can take several hours for the medication to wear off, so you&#8217;ll need a friend or loved one to drive you home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ask Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fear of the unknown is common in many situations, especially when at the dentist. Do not hesitate to ask your dentist questions about your treatment plan or what you can expect during a procedure. The right dentist will explain everything and address your concerns to help you make educated and confident decisions for your oral health needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practice Relaxation Exercises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Deep breathing and other relaxation techniques can help manage your anxiety during your dental appointments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t let your dental fears stand in the way of you getting the high-quality care you need for healthy teeth and gums. Your sedation dentist and coping techniques can calm your nerves and keep you comfortable while achieving your best smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Zack Walker<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kernersvilledentist.com\/meet-dr-zack-walker.html\">Dr. Walker<\/a> earned his dental degree from the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry and has completed advanced education in general and sedation dentistry.
