Sedation Rocks

I am writing a follow-up to my last post. Last weekend I went to the new dentist. While I was pretty scared walking in, when we actually got to to the room, I was starting to calm down. Everyone there was nice, and not condescending. Then they asked me if it was ok to get an IV, and next thing I knew, it was over.


People should consider taking their nonspeaking children to sedation dentists. The experience was profoundly less traumatic than previous dentist visits. We need more dentists and doctors that understand our needs. We cannot control our anxiety, and thus, sedation is an humane act of kindness. Knowing I don’t have to dread the dentist anymore is beyond a relief.
