Sedation Dentistry - Fairfax & Woodbridge, VA

The benefit of sedation dentistry is twofold: it allows patients to experience a virtually pain-free treatment, but more importantly, it allows patients to receive the oral care they need in a timely and efficient manner. Far too often, patients delay or completely skip necessary dental treatments due to dental anxiety or an irrational fear of going to the dentist. Avoiding treatment not only exacerbates any current condition, it can tremendously increase the risk of developing serious complications down the road! More importantly, sometimes the complications of avoiding oral treatment don’t stop at the mouth. Our oral health is directly tied to our systemic (whole-body) health, which means that oral disease and inflammation can easily affect other parts of the body if left untreated. In some instances, oral health issues that go untreated can increase the risk of serious – and even life-threatening! – conditions such as stroke, diabetes and heart disease. As you can see, while sedation dentistry is effective for making your dental procedures less painful, it is also important as preventive care against developing serious physiological health conditions. Don’t prolong your treatment! Call our office today and speak with one of our oral health experts to learn more about our sedation dentistry options.
