Overcome Dental Anxiety With Sedation YOUR FAQS ANSWERED
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR DENTAL SEDATION? Dental sedation is suitable for patients who experience anxiety or fear before or during dental visits.

Before sedation, your dentist will review your medical history and any medications you’re taking to avoid potential complications. ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS OF DENTAL SEDATION?

Do you fear the dentist or find that you have anxiety or worries surrounding your dental appointments? If so, dental sedation is a great option to help make your dental appointments more comfortable. If you’re considering dental sedation at Newman Springs Dental Care, you may have some questions — that’s why we’re sharing some frequently asked questions to clear the air! WHAT IS DENTAL SEDATION? Dental sedation uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s often referred to as “sleep dentistry,” although most forms of sedation don’t actually put you to sleep. Sedation can range from mild (relaxing you while you stay awake) to deep (putting you in a state of near-unconsciousness).
WHAT TYPES OF DENTAL SEDATION ARE AVAILABLE? In our office, we offer many types of dental sedation, including:
• Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): This is a mild sedative inhaled through a mask placed over your nose. It helps you relax and wears off quickly after the procedure.
• Oral Sedation: This involves taking a pill, usually an hour before your appointment. The medication can make you drowsy, but you’ll stay awake.
• IV Sedation: This sedative kicks into action quickly and offers a deeper level of sedation. It’s administered through a vein and allows our dentists to adjust the level of sedation as needed.

PREPPING TO PAINT While it’s possible to paint a door without first removing it from its hinges, it is much easier, cleaner, and more convenient to move it somewhere with ideal lighting and accessibility.

Priming the door will make your chosen paint adhere more easily. If you are an inexperienced painter, you may prefer a brush to a roller. While rollers can cover more space more quickly, they are not as easy to use as they first appear. Before diving in, get advice from your local paint store, including other helpful tools, like a paint tray, canvas drop cloth, and even painter’s tape. Once the paint dries and you rehang the door, enjoy your new look and that excellent first impression you’ll make. MAKE AN ENTRANCE How to Paint Your Door Like an Expert
