Dental anxiety is more common than you think, and at Aspen Dental of Cache Valley, we understand just how overwhelming it can feel. That’s why Dr. Blake Cameron, Dr. Jeff Wegener, and Dr. Derek Rickson offer sedation dentistry to help patients stay calm, relaxed, and completely comfortable throughout their visit. Whether it’s been years since your last appointment or you simply dread the sound of the drill, we’re here to help you take the first step without fear.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses safe, proven methods to ease anxiety and stress before and during dental treatments. At Aspen Dental of Cache Valley, we offer three types of conscious sedation so you can choose the option that best fits your needs and comfort level.
IV sedation is administered directly into your bloodstream to provide deep relaxation throughout your entire appointment. You’ll remain conscious but won’t feel any discomfort or worry during your treatment. Oral sedation works through a prescribed pill you take before your appointment. It gently eases your anxiety while keeping you awake, though you may not remember much afterward. Laughing gas, or nitrous oxide, is the lightest option and takes effect quickly through a small mask. It wears off as soon as the procedure is over, making it a great option if you want to drive yourself home.
Why Avoiding the Dentist Can Be Risky
We understand why people put off dental visits, but skipping routine care can put your overall health at risk. Oral infections, gum disease, and even tooth loss often go unnoticed until they become serious. Poor oral health has also been linked to conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory issues. By choosing sedation dentistry, you can receive the essential care you need without the anxiety that may have held you back in the past.
