An estimated 100 million people nationwide (nearly 30% of the population) need dental care but are too fearful to act. Access to care for these patients is limited, but now you can help.
The ability to practice sedation dental care gives you many advantages, not the least of which is treating a more comfortable patient. Other advantages include performing more dentistry in a single visit instead of repeat visits; extensive restorative cases from patients who were previously reluctant due to anxiety; and patients feeling little-to-no post-operative discomfort regardless of the procedure, resulting in more referrals.
And for your patients, providing sedation means even more: A comfortable experience often with no recollection of the visit or the time passed. It is often to hear of patients who call their dentist the next day, not to complain, but to express their gratitude and delight in their first ever fear-free visit to the dentist.
