Christopher A. Bowman, DDS
Sedation Dentistry
Approximately 90 million American adults are afraid of going to the dentist. They may experience sleeplessness the night before a scheduled visit, or feel physically ill at the thought of having dental work; escalating as the time draws nearer. Many avoid dental treatment for years because of that phobia.
Their apprehensions may be caused by:
Dr. Chris Bowman at Advanced Dentistry of Charlotte has a comforting alternative – sedation dentistry. With advanced training, and as a member of the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation, he can assure anxiety-free dental treatment.
Oral conscious sedation is safe and simple. The patient simply takes a pill to feel relaxed during a dental visit. You feel comfortable, but not “knocked-out.” Treatment time passes quickly, and you may even snooze a bit. Most patients say that they can’t believe treatment is done already, and they don’t remember the procedure. During the whole process, Dr. Bowman and his staff use state-of-the-art equipment to monitor your condition and vital statistics while you are sedated.
Sedation dentistry is a good choice for a fearful patient, or one who needs a lot of work (and isn’t this what happens when you avoid seeing the dentist?) and wants it done in as few appointments as possible.
With Dr. Bowman’s experienced touch, the care and compassion of his staff, and a little help from conscious sedation dentistry, you’ll have a dental treatment free of dread and panic. In just one such comforting visit, you will be able to overcome year’s worth of dental fears.
Their apprehensions may be caused by:
- Fear of pain or injections – or that the anesthetic won’t work.
- Fear of side effects from the treatment or the anesthetic.
- Lack of control of the situation; feelings of helplessness while in the chair.
- Issues with personal closeness and being touched.
- A previous bad experience at the dentist.
