When the thought of visiting the dentist fills you with dread, you\u2019re far less likely to keep up with routine dental care. Too many adults fall into the cycle of only visiting the dentist when they\u2019re already experiencing pain &#8212; but by that time, conservative treatment is often impossible. Decrease oral discomfort and dental anxiety with sedation dentistry from your downtown Toronto dentist, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drdann.ca\/meet-dr-dann.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Kevin Dann! <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Continue reading to learn more about this wonderful option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Relax Your Way Through Necessary Dental Care<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019d probably never put \u201crelax\u201d and \u201cdentist\u201d in the same sentence, but the two blend beautifully with sedation dentistry. It\u2019s a safe, effective way to relax your way through your next dentist\u2019s appointment. Let\u2019s take a closer look at how it works.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dentistry Asleep\u00ae<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Patients suffering from severe dental anxiety or phobia can have their fears eased with Dentistry Asleep\u00ae. This intravenous sedation option is a mild form of hospital-based general anaesthesia. It puts you completely to sleep, meaning you\u2019re fully removed from the sights, smells and sounds of what\u2019s going on around you. It\u2019s a wonderful way to help patients of all ages achieve the dental care they need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wondering if your fear is significant enough for sedation options like Dentistry Asleep\u00ae? Take our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drdann.ca\/anxiety-index.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">anxiety index quiz <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to get a better idea.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Children Benefit from Sedation, Too<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s important for children to visit the dentist regularly from the time their first tooth erupts. But if your child experiences a real fear of the dentist, or if he needs an extensive procedure done, Dentistry Asleep\u00ae can help him receive the care he needs &#8212; without all the worry and dread.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To put your child under sedation, we may first use a bit of \u201chappy air\u201d to help him fall asleep. Once he\u2019s completely relaxed, we\u2019ll begin the IV and closely monitor him to make sure he\u2019s as safe as can be throughout the entire procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other Options in Sedation Dentistry<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course, your dental anxiety may not be so severe that you need to be completely asleep to undergo your next dental procedure. Dr. Dann also offers other, milder forms of sedation, like nitrous oxide (commonly known as laughing gas). Inquire about all our options in sedation dentistry at your next dental appointment!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ready to Relax?
