At Cascade Endodontics, we make it our business not only to provide our Orem and Provo patients with the expert dental care they need, but to help them feel comfortable in the process. Most of our patients are pleasantly surprised at how little pain they experience getting endodontic treatment from Dr. Jon Jenson.
Do you avoid going to the dentist because of dental anxiety? Many people have now discovered a simpler way to get that needed root canal—sedation dentistry.
There are many types of sedation dentistry and they offer different benefits to patients. Here at Cascade Endodontics, we offer three levels of sedation and will work with you to figure out what approach will best fit your situation.
If you have dental fear and or anxiety you could be a good candidate for oral conscious sedation. Other qualifications can include:
sensitive gag reflex
sore jaw muscles
high pain sensitivity
difficulty numbing with local anesthetic
back or neck pain
difficulty controlling movement
previous traumatic dental experiences
discomfort sitting for long periods of time
Patients often have questions regarding whether or not they would be able to take advantage of sedation dentistry during their root canal procedures. The truth is – most patients qualify for dental sedation.
Sedation dentistry is available in the Provo, Orem and Utah County area and is a great option to get your needed dental care.
