Extreme Anxiety and Phobia

Dentists are, unfortunately, the proverbial bogeyman of the health care world. Fear and anxiety of seeing the dentist keep many people from having beautiful smiles, and healthy teeth and gums. Not only does neglecting the dentist affect your smile, it can also affect your overal health.

The
American Dental Association has compiled a summary of the strong correlation between oral health and systemic health. In fact, oral health can often indicate health in areas such as diabetes, heart disease, and stroke, as well as others.

Sedation dentistry isn't just for people with special needs and disabilities. It may be the answer for someone who has extreme phobia and anxiety. Sedation dentistry at GCG Surgery Center is a way for patients to gently snooze while they are being treated. Treatment that can take many hours and several visits in a regular dental office can be done in just one.

If you know of anyone who could benefit from dentistry under general anesthesia, please be sure to let them know about us.
