Sedation Dentistry Eases Dental Fears

There are many reasons 50% of the population put dental care at the bottom of the healthcare list: Some people are downright fearful, others have suffered bad experiences in the past and now suffer from dental anxiety. Then there are those who have a very strong gag reflex, and going to the dentist is a real ordeal. Or maybe extensive care is needed and there simply isn't enough hours in the day to accomplish it.

It's time to rest easy. Sedation Dentistry is here.

After an initial consultation, Dr. Marcius may give you an anxiety medication to take, it's called Triazolam, before your visit. You must bring a friend along to get you home after your appointment. At your appointment, you'll be drowsy, but thoroughly responsive (conscious sedation). The dentistry team will monitor your every move throughout. The big plus: Most patients don't feel anything, and all your dentistry needs can be accomplished at one time, sometimes in as little as two to six hours, from straightforward care to the most complicated. Oral Conscious Sedation may not be adequate for some patients. Dr. Joseph G Marcius also provides IV conscious Sedation. He has been providing this service for 25 years.

For anxious patients, this new treatment is a kind of miracle, a boon to dental health. For the medically compromised, it works wonders, too. Dentistry keeps getting better and better, you'll be convinced.

Dr. Marcius understands your dental fear, where it comes from, and what health problems can arise as a result. Now you're lucky to have a means to overcome it, and we are so pleased to be able to offer dental sedation to our patients.
