If you have anxiety when going to the dentist, you aren’t alone! Millions of Americans share your fear. At THRIVE Perio and Implants, we can help you overcome that fear. Making your periodontal treatment as comfortable as possible is our passion. We provide a wide range of dental anesthesia options in Stroudsburg, PA, all of which are designed for your comfort and safety. Our on-site anesthesiologist offers many types of dental anesthesia to suit even complex treatments. If you’re looking for sedation anesthesia near you, Dr. Nolf and his compassionate team should be the first place you go.
For more intensive work and for severe dental anxiety, THRIVE offers general anesthesia. Our on-site anesthesiologist, Dr. DeMarco, will watch over you throughout your procedure to ensure that you stay healthy and wake up with a smile. We’ll require you to have someone to drive you home from your appointment if you choose general anesthesia.
Unlike oral sedation , intravenous (or IV) sedation is administered through a tube that is inserted into your arm. You will be in a sleep-like state, though you will remain awake throughout the procedure. Many of our patients who choose IV sedation don’t remember their procedure at all! Because this type of sedation can have lasting effects in your body, we require that you have someone to drive you home after your visit.
If you are afraid of going to the dentist, you may put off your care and ignore symptoms that require attention. The risks of this are considerable: even small dental issues can turn into systemic ones, if left unchecked. In these cases, the result can be a far more serious condition than you would have had if you had pursued treatment earlier. In particular, gum disease can lead to gum recession and tooth loss (and although Dr. Nolf is skilled with dental implants, he would much rather have you keep your original teeth). If left untreated, this can lead to systemic complications, increased pain and more treatments. With all of our dental anesthesia options in Stroudsburg, PA, this should never happen to you! Reach out to THRIVE Perio and Implants to learn more about how our specialized and comprehensive anesthesia options can offer you the chance to get the care you need, without fear or anxiety.
