Sedation dentistry in Nashville - Dr. Blourchian

While Dr. Blourchian and our team at New Image Dentistry strive to offer a comfortable experience for all our patients, we realize that fear or anxiety while visiting the dentist can affect a lot of patients anyway. For patients who need extra comfort and relaxation during their dental visit, we are pleased to offer sedation dentistry.

The reasons for patients' fear of the dentist can be numerous, but are usually due to a traumatic experience during their childhood. This overwhelming anxiety can cause one to avoid modern dental care, resulting in poor oral hygiene and possible mouth-related issues such as gum disease.

There are, however, some important things to note about sedation dentistry:

- Sedation dentistry is not the same as being unconscious: you will be responsive and conscious throughout the entire procedure, but in a deeply relaxed state of mind.

- Because the sedation takes some time to wear off completely, it is crucial for you to have a friend or family member with you to transport you to and from our office safely.

If you suffer from dental phobia, sedation dentistry may be the answer for you. At our Nashville suburb office, several patients have successfully completed dental treatment using this state-of-the-art and effective technology. Please give us a call at 615.261.8879 for more info about sedation industry, and we'll be more than happy to answer your questions.

Enjoy your weekend!
