Artisan Dentistry offers sedation dentistry as a relaxing alternative for patients in Salem, NH and Newburyport, MA that encounter strong feelings of anxiety at the thought of having a dental procedure.
Sedation Dentistry is for those who encounter strong feelings of anxiety at the thought of having a dental procedure.
Unfortunately, procrastinating about your dental needs might be far unhealthier than you realize. Studies have found that untreated periodontal disease contributes to a host of health problems, including heart disease. Some research suggests that periodontal (gum) disease may be a more serious heart disease risk factor than hypertension, smoking, cholesterol, gender, and age. After all, gum disease is an infection and, if left untreated, it enters your bloodstream and can affect your heart and other organs.
Now that we know why it is so important to care for your mouth and teeth, what can be done for patients who fear the dentist?
Sedation dentistry is a simple, effective and safe way to ensure you get the dental care you need to stay healthy, without the anxiety associated with dental visits. Modern sedation dentistry techniques let you relax completely during dental procedures. You’ll be in a tranquil state while our sedation dentist, Dr. Paul Mathew, completes the procedures you need, and you’ll awaken easily and safely to a beautiful new smile and a healthier mouth.
