Conscious Sedation Dentistry made easy with Us!!!

 Does the thought of having your teeth cleaned make your entire body tense with fear? Would you rather endure the agony of a  toothache a step foot in a dentist’s office? You’re not alone. A lot of people are so phobic about going to the dentist that they prefer not to have any treatment. For people who avoid dentists like the plague, sedation dentistry may take away some of their anxiety. Sedation can be used for everything from invasive procedures to a simple tooth cleaning. How it’s used depends on the severity of the fear. The Family Smiles Dental is suitably located at 1011 N Hwy 77, Ste 105, Waxahachie, is the best dentist's office near your location.

With I.V. sedation you are getting an intravenous drug that causes short term relaxation & partial tranquilization. General Anesthesia creates deep unconsciousness & inability to feel pain. In general, I.V sedation is much safer than General Anaesthesia. Undergoing sedation dentistry eliminates the anxiety of many experiences regarding dental treatments. Under the care of our dental team, you are placed in a dream-like state, allowing our dentist to perform even the most complex treatments. Because sedation is safe and predictable, we can use it to perform any dental treatment like extraction of all teeth including wisdom teeth, restoring sore gums to good health, fixing chipped teeth, doing multiple fillings in one sitting, root canals, and replacing crowns or dentures.

                                          Taking Care Of Your Oral Health In Self Isolation

During self-isolation, make sure you are well prepared to care for your oral health. The pandemic is disrupting every area of our lives are currently, including physical activity. We can no longer simply go for a walk, visit the gym or play team sports, while the temptation is to sit at home and spend more time on the couch. However, physical inactivity is a major risk factor for developing a 

serious disease

Toothbrush Hygiene

Keep safe by making sure nobody uses each other’s toothbrushes and that they are stored well away from everybody else’s toothbrush. The damp environment of a toothbrush is ideal for spreading viruses. Use separate toothpaste as well.

Continue with Your Normal Oral Care Routine

Sticking to every day routines is important while self-isolating and particularly your dental maintenance routine. Make sure you continue to brush at least twice a day and floss once-a-day. If you 

wish, use a mouthwash for 30 seconds as this can slightly reduce the risk of spreading viruses.

Watch Your Diet

It’s a time when it’s tempting to indulge in snacks and Netflix, but try to limit your consumption of sugary or acidic foods. Instead, concentrate on eating foods that will boost your immune systems like 

vitamin-rich and nutrient-dense fruits and veggies.

Stay Active

Make sure you have some form of physical activity every day. If you can’t get outside, there are plenty of fun exercise routines online.

Drink plenty of Water

It is easy to become dehydrated and especially if you are fighting an infection. Some medications can reduce saliva flow too, so be sure to drink plenty of plain water
