Keeping Patients Calm Since 2015

Are you or a family member nervous about going to the dentist? Has a past experience with pain or discomfort caused you to start panicking when you think about having your teeth worked on? Have you neglected to go to the dentist and feared the amount of work that might need to be carried out? At Coleman & Dastrup Dentistry Elevated, we understand.

If your past or current situation is causing a lot of uneasiness, there are options available to reduce your fear and reduce (or completely eliminate) your pain with the necessary procedures. Oral sedation (sometimes called sleep dentistry) has helped countless Mooresville dental patients calmly undergo dental treatment. It is not an experimental procedure but has been used safely in various forms since the 1800s.

To discuss sleep dentistry, call Coleman & Dastrup Dentistry Elevated at 704-896-5850 to schedule a no-pressure consultation. Doctor Coleman will explain your sedation options and answer any questions. If you select sedation, Doctor Coleman will refer you to a specialist if necessary (depending on the type of sedation used).

It is important to understand the difference between topical analgesics and sedation which are used both alone and simultaneously. Analgesics help numb the gums and nerves connected with your teeth so you don’t feel the pain. Sedation medications impact the nervous system and deliver a feeling of peace and relaxation. You may choose to be minimally sedated, where you are calm but still awake, or choose general anesthesia which renders you completely unconscious. Together, these two solutions dramatically improve the treatment experience for patients suffering from dental anxiety, a very common condition.

Regardless of the type and level of sedation you decide to use, Doctor Coleman will proceed with patience and understanding. Oral sedation helps with making your dental visit relaxed so you can treat all of your dental dilemmas and restore your health. Taking care of decay, infections, and other urgent problems brings peace of mind and reduces the risk of further damage including tooth loss.
