Reasons why you have to overcome the fear of the dentist

During the whole intervention, with conscious sedation, the patient is in a state of relaxation and drowsiness, without perception of the elapsed time or stressful sensations that are associated with dental interventions (noises, odors, vision of the operating room, pain during the administration of the local anesthetic and intervention, discomforts by prolonged opening of the mouth, etc.). In our dental clinics we have all the technical and human means to perform these types of interventions and help you overcome the fear of the dentist

The use of conscious sedation allows for greater collaboration on the part of the patient, which greatly facilitates the work of the dentist. At the end of the intervention, the patient is relaxed, without remembering anything of the treatment that has been performed, being able to join soon after to his daily activities.
