For some people, the thought of sitting in a dental chair brings a wave of anxiety, making even routine care feel overwhelming. Whether it’s fear of needles, a sensitive gag reflex, or difficulty staying still for extended periods, these challenges can prevent you from getting the care you need.
Fortunately, sedation dentistry offers a solution so you can prioritize your oral health, but are you a good candidate?
