DENTAL PROCEDURES SPOTLIGHT
Dental Sedation and Oral Cancer Screening
Types of Dental Sedation Dental anxiety is not something many patients can just “get over” — we know and understand that! In fact, studies show roughly 36% of people suffer from some form of dental anxiety, and 12% have extreme fear. To help put you at ease and minimize stress, anxiety, and negative feelings surrounding dental procedures, we provide sedation dentistry options for a comfortable experience.
Our team is highly trained and qualified to provide three effective sedation techniques and options.
Inhaled Sedation Laughing gas, a mixture of gas and oxygen, is administered to calm your nerves and provide a euphoric feeling while undergoing dental procedures. Laughing gas is effective and safe — even for children. Oral Conscious Dental Sedation To ensure you arrive calm and feel relaxed throughout the entire procedure, oral medication can be provided for you to take before you set foot in the office for your dental procedure. IV Sedation Just like any IV, this form of sedation is administered straight to your bloodstream and is the strongest and most effective form we offer. In just moments, you will feel completely relaxed and in a dreamlike state. Oral Cancer Screening According to the Oral Cancer Foundation, 54,000 individuals in the U.S. will be diagnosed with oral cancer this year alone. Here at Newman Springs Dental, we encourage you to get an annual cancer screening with your next check-up or cleaning. Our FDA-approved VELscope helps us to detect signs of oral cancer in the very early stages by highlighting any precancerous or cancerous cell development, abnormalities, and/or changes within your mouth. Our staff is trained to recognize any signs or indicators of oral cancer. Thus, everyone should be checked out — call us today to set up your appointment!
