Wake Up With a Smile
By Josh Bernstein
Envision: you walk into the
dentist’s office and you are completely relaxed. As you lie down
in a chair with a warm blanket, you fall asleep. Then you wake
up to find everything done. Too many people avoid having dental
work because they are afraid of the dentist. For those people,
“sleep dentistry” can be a major help.
Many people may ask, “So
what is sleep dentistry, anyways?” The answer is that expressly
trained dentists prescribe you an extremely safe, ordinary
sleeping pill after they discuss your procedures with you. An
hour before your appointment, you take the sleeping pill so that
you come to the dentist very relaxed. After you arrive, you may
be given another sleeping pill. Once you lie in the chair, you
are covered with a blanket. Your vital signs are checked
constantly while you drift in and out of sleep. As you are
sedated, all of your dental work is completed. After you get up,
the appointment is over!
The sleeping pill is also
beneficial because it allows you to forget, most, if not all, of
your visit.
Millions of dental
procedures have been performed safely while the patient was
asleep. Every dental procedure can be done while you are asleep
and most patients are able to complete all their dental needs in
as little as 2 appointments. If you are afraid of anything from
routine cleanings to cosmetic dentistry, “sleep dentistry” can
help. Just visualize waking up with the beautiful smile you
always wanted!
