It\u2019s as if your brain is working in overdrive, amplifying every aspect of the experience.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Gag Reflex <\/strong>\u2013 A gag reflex is your body\u2019s way of saying, \u201cI need to swallow, but I can\u2019t!\u201d It involves the muscles in the throat and is completely involuntary, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s untreatable.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Past Negative Experience<\/strong> \u2013 If you\u2019ve had a traumatic experience in the dental chair, even if it was decades ago, it\u2019s very hard to forget! In fact, this situation is similar to post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Pain<\/strong> \u2013 Trying to get through a dental appointment when you\u2019re anticipating pain at every turn is not an easy thing to do!<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>General Anxiety or Fear of Losing Control<\/strong> \u2013 Sometimes patients have a hard time pinpointing the exact source of their anxiety or simply don\u2019t like feeling a loss of control.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nIf you experience any of these feelings before or during dental work, rest assured \u2013 there are safe, reliable ways to eliminate your fear!\r\n<h2>How Can You Get the Dental Work You Need Without Fear?<\/h2>\r\nBy seeing a compassionate, caring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gramercydentalstudio.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">dentist<\/a> who has experience treating phobic patients, you can get the dental work you need without the anxiety. Here are just some of the ways they can help you overcome your fear!\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Relaxation Dentistry<\/strong> \u2013 By taking a prescription medication to relax you beforehand, you\u2019ll feel incredibly calm and worry-free throughout your appointment. Even though you\u2019ll be awake and conscious, this medication will greatly reduce any anxiety you have and can even reduce your gag reflex.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Nitrous Oxide<\/strong> \u2013 Also known as \u201claughing gas,\u201d you\u2019ll breathe nitrous oxide through a nosepiece during your appointment and will feel completely comfortable and at ease while in the dental chair.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>The Wand<\/strong> \u2013 This tool is an incredibly helpful device that makes getting numbed practically pain-free.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nWith these options, you can get the dental work you need \u2013 safely and comfortably every time!\r\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\r\nDr. Ira Newman is a general, restorative and cosmetic dentist who always makes sure his patients are comfortable before, during and after dental treatment.
