Relaxation Dentistry

For many, the memory of certain dental experiences overshadows the importance of maintaining their dental health. Their anxiety level can escalate at the simple thought of calling to schedule a dental appointment. Patients who suffer from these conditions benefit from dental procedures performed with anxiolysis. Anxiolysis is the reduction of anxiety by taking an oral medication. With anxiolysis and all of Dr. Schindler’s gentle and comforting techniques, you will feel completely relaxed for your dental visits.

Throughout her years in dentistry, Dr. Schindler recognized the decline in dental health that occurred in patients who regularly cancelled or avoided routine appointments due to dental anxiety. She decided to take a proactive approach to meet these patient’s needs by offering a relaxation medication.

The patient has a companion drive them one hour prior to their dental appointment. The patient is then escorted to our relaxation room and takes a small pill. The patient is then covered with a thick, warm blanket and given all of Dr. Schindler’s spa comforts. When the patient reaches a comfortable level of relaxation, their dental treatment begins. When the treatment is completed, the patient’s companion drives them home to continue resting.

Relaxation dentistry (known by some in Ohio as sedation dentistry) has become a wonderful solution for those patients suffering from dental anxiety to maintain their dental health. The ideal candidates for this type of appointment are individuals who experience high anxiety when faced with dental treatments, have difficulty swallowing or high gag reflex, difficulty getting numb, have complex dental problems and have a limited time to complete the dental work.

If you’ve been putting off years of dental work, or have been afraid to explore the possibilities of a new smile, relaxation (also called sedation) dentistry by Ohio dentist, Dr. Schindler can dramatically enhance your life.
