Ridgefield Park Dentist Expresses How Conscious Sedation will Take Away the Fear and Anxiety from Your Dental Visit

    BOGOTA, NJ, June 25, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- About 30% of the population is afraid of going to the dentist. The big question is WHY when there is "Sedation Dentistry". NJ dentist, Dr Sultan Sherzoy offers conscious sedation dentistry at his Bergen County office. Conscious sedation dentistry is beneficial for patients who have had bad experiences with their dentist or just simply are afraid of any pain that may occur. Dr Sherzoy believes many of his patients avoid regular dental care because of anxiety and fear.

With Conscious Sedation the patient will be in a comfortable and relaxed state of mind. Sedation Dentistry is administered by simply taking a pill, no need to worry if your body will act funny, because all body functions will remain completely normal. There is no reason that one shouldn't take care of their teeth, "Dental negligence can lead to serious medical consequences," says Dr. Sherzoy. Many people don't associate conditions like diabetes, heart disease and stroke with dental, but these are some of the major consequences that can occur as a result of avoiding the dentist.

Some advantages for sedation are that; the pill is easy to administer, it's safe and easy to monitor, and works well for most people and it can be given at a low cost. The amazing thing about this is that unlike anesthesia where a patient is completely unconscious, asleep or unable to respond, patients under Conscious Sedation are able to respond to commands and breathe on their own. Now, like in anything else with advantages there are always a few disadvantages. The disadvantages for sedations consist of; someone must drive you to and from your dental appointment, the level of sedation is not easily changed and there is no pain relief effect. With all being said, there is truly no reason for anyone to not visit their dentist, especially if it involves any type of fear.
