Patients with Dental Anxiety or Phobia
Dental anxiety is one of the most common reasons people avoid going to the dentist. Many people experience stress or fear about the sounds, smells, or sensations associated with dental care. In more severe cases, some patients have dental phobia, an intense fear that keeps them from receiving the care they need. Sleep Dentistry creates a relaxed environment, making it easier for dentists to complete procedures efficiently and for patients to relax.
Patients Needing Multiple or Lengthy Procedures
If you require several dental procedures, such as fillings, crowns, or extractions, handling them in separate visits can be challenging. Some patients need extensive dental work done in a short period. Sleep Dentistry can be good for this as you won’t feel discomfort or stress during longer appointments.
Individuals with a Low Pain Threshold
Some patients have a low pain tolerance, making routine cleanings uncomfortable. These individuals may find it challenging to get through dental procedures without experiencing pain, even with local anaesthesia. Under Sleep Dentistry, you will have a more pleasant experience, which will hopefully encourage regular dental visits.
Children Who Are Afraid of Dental Treatment
Children can be fearful of dental visits, and some may struggle to sit through even a basic cleaning. Paediatric patients with anxiety or difficulty cooperating during appointments are good candidates for sedation dentistry. Sleep Dentistry ensures the dentist can complete necessary treatments without the child becoming distressed.
Patients with Physical or Mental Disabilities
For patients with physical or intellectual disability, dental treatment can be complicated. Some individuals have trouble staying still or following instructions, which can make routine procedures more challenging for both the patient and the dentist. Sleep dentistry provides a good option to help the patient be more at ease aswell, allowing them to get the treatment they need.
