Dental Anxiety? How a Sedation Dentist Can Be Your Hero

Dreading the dentist's chair? You're not alone. Millions of people experience dental anxiety, a fear that can range from mild apprehension to full-blown panic attacks. This anxiety often leads individuals to neglect their oral health altogether, putting them at risk of serious dental problems. But there's good news! Sedation dentistry offers a safe and effective solution, transforming your dental experience from stressful to serene.

Understanding Dental Anxiety: Beyond the Drill

Dental anxiety manifests in various ways, impacting people differently. Here are some common triggers:

Fear of Pain: The thought of needles, drills, or potential discomfort can be very unsettling.

Loss of Control: Feeling vulnerable while lying in the dentist's chair can be a major source of anxiety for some.

Claustrophobia: The close proximity of dental equipment can trigger claustrophobic feelings.

Past Experiences: Negative experiences at the dentist in the past can leave a lasting fear.

The Cost of Untreated Dental Anxiety

Ignoring dental anxiety can have significant consequences for your oral health:

Neglected Oral Hygiene: Avoiding dental appointments due to anxiety allows plaque and tartar to build up, increasing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and even tooth loss.

Painful Consequences: Untreated dental problems can lead to pain, discomfort, and even infection.

Reduced Self-Esteem: Missing teeth or dental problems can negatively impact self-esteem and confidence in social situations.

Social Withdrawal: People with dental anxiety might avoid social situations due to concerns about their smile.

Sedation Dentistry: Your Path to a Relaxed Smile

Fortunately, you don't have to let dental anxiety control your oral health. Sedation dentistry offers a safe and effective way to manage your nerves and receive the dental treatment you need. Here's how it works:

Variety of Options: Depending on the severity of your anxiety and the type of procedure, various levels of sedation are available. These options range from nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") to moderate sedation administered via IV.

Reduced Anxiety: Sedation helps you relax and feel calmer throughout the procedure.

Pain Management: In some cases, sedation can also help manage any discomfort you might experience during treatment.

Positive Experience: Overall, sedation dentistry allows you to have a more comfortable and positive dental experience.

Is Sedation Dentistry Safe?

Sedation dentistry, when administered by a qualified dentist or anesthesiologist, is a safe and well-established practice. Here's what ensures your safety:

Comprehensive Evaluation: Prior to recommending sedation, your dentist will conduct a thorough medical and dental history to determine if sedation is the right option for you.

Experienced Professionals: Sedation dentistry will be performed by a dentist or anesthesiologist experienced in monitoring patients under sedation.

Constant Monitoring: Your vital signs will be closely monitored throughout the procedure to ensure your safety and well-being.

Recovery Time: Depending on the level of sedation used, you might need a recovery period before driving or resuming regular activities.

Finding Your Perfect Match: Choosing a Sedation Dentist

Not all dentists offer sedation dentistry. Here's how to find a dentist who can help:

Ask Your Current Dentist: Your regular dentist might be able to refer you to a qualified sedation dentist in Phoenix or your local area.

Search Online: Look for dentists in your area who advertise sedation dentistry services. Sedation dentistry can be a good starting point for your search.

Read Reviews: Checking online reviews can give you insights into other patients' experiences with sedation dentistry.

Schedule a Consultation: Meet with the dentist to discuss your anxiety, sedation options, and your treatment needs.

Taking Control of Your Smile: A Conversation with Your Dentist

If dental anxiety has been keeping you away from the dentist, it's time to have an open and honest conversation with your dental professional. Here's how to initiate the dialogue:

Express Your Concerns: Let your dentist know about your dental anxiety and your interest in sedation options.

Ask Questions: Don't hesitate to ask about the different types of sedation offered and the process involved.

Discuss Your Needs: Talk to your dentist about any specific anxieties you have regarding dental procedures.

Collaborative Approach: Together, you can create a personalized plan that addresses your needs and ensures a comfortable dental experience.

Conclusion

By taking advantage of sedation dentistry, you can finally overcome your dental anxiety and receive the care you need to maintain optimal oral health. In a relaxed and comfortable setting, you can achieve the healthy, confident smile you deserve. Don't let dental anxiety stand in your way of achieving a brighter, healthier you. Talk to your Phoenix dentist today and explore the possibilities of sedation dentistry. Remember, a comfortable and anxiety-free dental experience is just a conversation away!

My Care Kit

I've hesitated posting about this because I know it's not hard for this to get to the wrong side of the site - because even though there's been an awesome shift in the conversation about how care can look at different levels of functioning, we're still not really there yet. So if you're rude in the comments, tags, or reblogs, expect to blocked. Cause I just don't have it in me.

With that out of the way, I wanted to talk about what's been allowing me to be infinitely more regular with skincare, grooming, and to a lesser degree dental routines - my care kit.

It's not mindblowing or original. I basically just took all the stuff I was storing in the bathroom and store it in my bedroom to use there. I'm sure plenty of people have figured this out before me but it took me a minute to realize how helpful this is.

So what's in here?

Skincare

CeraVe AM Moisturizer

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid

Good Molecules Discoloration Correcting Serum

CereVe "in the Tub" - Moisturizing Cream

Differin Gel*

*Differing Gel is something I only use when I take this kit to the bathroom as it's important to wash your hands after using a retinol

"But you're supposed to use it on wet skin!" - yeah I know. I keep a small spray bottle in here to wet my skin before applying

"But that can mold!" - yeah I know. It's a small one and I use it up in a few days before I need to refill it. I try to clean it regularly too.

But ultimately done is better than none. I accept some risk in order to make this accessible to me. My skin is no longer so dry it's cracking and getting infected. Thank god.

Grooming

Native Deodorant - Black Oak + Amber

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab & Sphere and Sundry - Her Eyes That Were Full of Shining Perfume Oil

Kat Von D - Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in "Witches"

Besame Cosmetics - Black Cake Mascara

Tweezerman Tweezers

I don't use all of this all of the time but I appreciate having the option. Sometimes you know you're not getting out of bed but you'd like to look nice. Sometimes looking nice helps you get out of bed.

Not pictured but I keep a small mirror on my shelf near where I store this bag. I use that for make up and tweezing. When tweezing, I wipe the edges off with a tissue then toss it the next time I get up. I also rinse it the next time I use it at the sink. Not perfect, I know. But it helps.

I do have a facial razor in here, but I only use that at the sink at the moment. I also want to swap from disposable to reusable soon. But baby steps and all that.

Dental

And now for the part that will horrify some people and be saving grace to others.

Disposable pre-pasted toothbrushes

Sea to Summit Collapsible Cup with Lid

I won't be accepting comments on this. It's personal and I hesitated to share this because I know it's polarizing. But I know there's something like me out there for whom this would help a ton.

I have a horrible reaction to most toothpastes. I'm talking brush my teeth for 2 minutes, shitting on the toilet for multiple hours afterwards bad. It is miserable and makes me terrified to brush my teeth. I also have just always struggled with it and been shamed a lot for it.

These dang pre-pasted toothbrushes for some reason I do not react to. Idk if it's the fact I toss them after or the paste they're using somehow doesn't have the thing I'm reacting to but I can finally brush my teeth without unbearable cramps afterward.

I recommend them for people who are depressed, bedbound, or otherwise can't get to the sink to brush their teeth though. For me it falls into the camp of medical waste - which no one should be shaming anyone for - if it's this or nothing.

The collapsible cup will also put some people off. What I do is spit into the cup, cap it, then empty and clean it whenever I get up next. Gross? Maybe. But it works. I've not had issues with smell this way and since it's capped, there's no way to spill it if I lose my balance or accidentally kick it.

Miscellaneous

Holotaco Nail Kit

Badger Sleep Balm

The nail kit was a gift and boy oh boy is it nice. You don't need this one but something like this is a godsend. It is so nice to be able to clip nails back, file them, and clean them up without needing to like make a session of it in the bathroom. I'm considering adding my fav base coat, nail polish, and top coat so I can more easily paint them too.

Badger Sleep Balm has become a part of how I wind down and also how I help recover from panic attacks. I've taught myself some basics of self massage and use this to make it go a little easier. I really recommend learning. There are some good videos on youtube and I get fewer cricks in my neck now.

Conclusion

I really hope this helps someone out. Maybe this doesn't suit your particular use case but I hope it serves as an example that sometimes you're not keeping your desired routines because the environment needs a redesign and sometimes that requires thinking outside the box a little.

when you're exerting all your energy trying to negotiate life, sometimes the little shit falls by the wayside. rocket's looking out for you and your dental hygiene though, cupcake. p.s. get yourself some emergency mouthwash.

precious nonnie, i wrote this straight out of my heart with a lot of love, truly. i really, really hope things get better for you soon. you're absolutely not alone. (pro tip from someone who knows: mouthwash when you can't brush up can be a lifesaver.) sending you my very best blessings for better days, and hugs if you want them.

You’re lying in your narrow bed, staring out the window. The daytime lights of Knowhere have dimmed hours ago, but you haven’t moved — sprawled quietly, letting the mild breeze of the skull’s ventilation system flutter your thin curtains and stroke cool fingers against your face. You stare out at the velvety-dark inside of the dome and the strings of tiny plasma orbs, sparkling like strands of distant moons tethering your roof to the one across the street. There aren’t many views of the deep-space sky from Knowhere — not unless you’re on the observation deck — but the countless paper lanterns, starry tin-smithed lamps, and stringed lights almost make up for it. You sigh listlessly. At least, you think, Rocket’s turned the music on. He’s got some old song crooning away on the speakers in the streets — the kind that will lull the Star Kids to sleep and mellow out whatever chaos is currently happening at the poker tables at Mantlo’s. Underneath the notes, you listen to the wash of low conversation — a soft crush of mumbled half-words you can’t hear from your apartment — and the occasional shout of laughter, bright and clear. You let your eyelids drift closed, and you wonder if you could fall asleep like this. And then there’s a knock at the door.

// hey, isn’t that BRYONY FLORES, who looks a little like GENESIS RODRIGUEZ? i hear SHE is a 40 year old CIS WOMAN who works as a 2ND GRADE TEACHER who has been in town for 30 YEARS. they ARE (kind of) a member of one of aspen creek’s founding families. you can usually find them at SUNNYVALE COMMONS or THE FARMER'S MARKET. if you ask me, they remind me a lot of BERRY PICKING IN THE SPRING, THAT PINTEREST BOARD YOU'VE HAD FOR YOUR WEDDING SINCE YOU WERE 12, and MOM JEANS SO WORN-IN THEY FIT JUST RIGHT. just keep an eye on them & see if their true colors shine through!

tw: mention of cancer, discussion of sex

FULL NAME: bryony constance flores IDENTITY: cis woman, she/her, bisexual BIRTHDAY, AGE, ZODIAC: sept 10th, 40, virgo FAMILY: unmarried, one daughter OCCUPATION: second grade teacher LANGUAGES: spanish, english RESIDENCE: sunnyvale commons

bryony was born in phoenix, arizona, raised by her father and mother in a moderately religious home. they went to church every sunday and held bible study at their homegroup every wednesday night. as the only child to a successful dentist father and a stay-at home mother in the 80s, they lived fairly comfortably for many years.

bryony's mother was diagnosed with and passed away from breast cancer when she was 9, leading to her and her father packing up their home and avoiding any bad memories left behind in the desert. her dad got a job taking over a popular dental practice in aspen creek and she began attending school in the middle of the year, leading to much trouble making friends and keeping her grades up.

throughout high school, bryony was never one of the most popular kids, but she joined clubs and made friends with a few of the town's longest-surviving families. she got her first boyfriend and thought everything was going to be okay. things were calming down after a few years of mourning her mother and her father was appointed an elder at the church they'd been attending. surely with a few friends and a boyfriend, things would settle in and she could start building a comfortable life. being in love for the first time and thinking that she would marry her first boyfriend, she made the decision to finally have sex

shit hit the fan their senior year - bryony got pregnant on only her second time ever having sex. her father wasn't happy with her decisions, but was willing to assist with money and care while she finished high school. on the other hand, knowing her boyfriend came from a prestigious family reputation, she was terrified to tell him and his family. they had a big blow-up fight when he said he wouldn't take responsibility for the child, leaving bryony to become a single mom at 17.

with the support of her father, bryony recovered from the heartbreak and began raising her child while working towards her teaching degree and sharing parenting responsibilities with her father. she hadn't necessarily ever dreamed of being a teacher and surrounded by seven year olds all day, but it was a steady job that she was good at and could get comfort from.

in her free time, bryony likes to visit farmer's markets and antique stores, looking for rare beauties to make her home beautiful. their house is like a knick-knack shop, with whatever fun tchotchkis she can find decorating every inch of their shelves and walls. she spends her free time doodling dresses and gowns that end up shuffled to the back of her notebooks and sketchbooks, never to be seen by the public's eyes.

with her father's passing about 3-4 years ago, bryony has been trying to break out of her routine and flex her creative muscles in more ways. she'd spent so long focusing on being a mother that, at times, she feels like she's lost the excitement in her life! she takes lots of classes to learn new hobbies like crochet, dance, or scrapbooking!

[bronanlynch]

it took me over nine months to finish ace attorney 5 but here we are with the lawyer rankings (of whose file clerk I'd rather be)

athena: once again I draw the line at working for a teenager, and also I would be so uncomfortable if she ever tried to tell me what emotion she knew I was feeling. cannot stress how miserable that would be for me, and also a discrimination lawsuit waiting to happen. also, emotions-based lawyering doesn't seem likely to produce as much paperwork as I would like, since that leaves me with less to do. 2/10, of course there's discord in my heart I'm at work leave me alone.

apollo: if he started his own firm I would work for him in a heartbeat but unfortunately him leaving and then coming back to the wright anything agency is not great in terms of like, job security for his hypothetical file clerk. like, do I get laid off when he leaves and then brought back when he returns a few days later? I want a little more stability than that, sorry. 7/10, he would at least help get my benefits paperwork sorted out and I appreciate that in a boss.

phoenix: Idk has he learned how to pay his staff yet because judging by the repetition of the ending bit abt how he doesn't want to buy them noodles the answer seems to be no. "your bonus this year is a pizza party" kind of boss except you have to buy your own pizza. sure he's learned how to be a more supportive mentor to athena than he was to apollo but my boss's faith in me will not pay my rent. 3/10, phoenix you're dating the chief prosecutor surely you can do better than this.

edgeworth: he's gotten his shit together in a way that makes me very proud of him, and he does seem to care abt his employees. also he looks good in those glasses. 8/10, if he can get blackquill's conviction overturned he can make sure I have dental insurance.

payne: the thing about payne is that he doesn't listen to the things people tell him and he doesn't seem to learn anything ever, and that's a very frustrating quality in a boss. the kind of boss that tells you to do something but explains it badly and when you ask a clarifying question he responds with even more incomprehensible bullshit. half of your email responses to him are just copying and pasting things you've already told him. 2/10, every interaction with him is a sisyphean nightmare.

blackquill: trying to process the ethics of an imprisoned prosecutor (they make him wear a shock collar in court jesus fucking christ) makes my brain short-circuit but that's also just the ace attorney experience. other than that he seems like a decent boss, as long as you can overlook some of his uh dramatic tendencies and also as long as he doesn't sic taka on you. but I think if you had a good rapport with him it would be fine, even if it would probably mean a lot of transcribing bc presumably he'd have to hand-write anything he wants to file with the court and send them to you via bird and then you'd have to type them up and actually submit them. 6/10, honestly he gains several points just because I want to pet taka.

professor means: he's so smug, is the thing. he's just the smuggest man and he treats his students like idiots so I can't imagine he'd be any better and less condescending to his employees. he's probably looking for every excuse to be like "gotcha! you made one (1) minor error (that isn't even actually an error, it's just that he personally would have done it differently" and because everything has to be a Teaching Moment he'll bring it up in department meetings and also use you as an example in his classes. 3/10, he gains a few points for his awareness that the legal system is fucked up and rigged in favor of the prosecution and then loses most of those points for being a condescending asshole.

klavier: he would be fine probably. presumably his office is in the same state as it was in aa4, which is not ideal, as it stresses me out when filing cabinets are so full/disorganized that you can't close the drawers. on the other hand maybe that was just because he hadn't gotten around to dealing with it yet and he's not living like that on purpose and he would appreciate a file clerk to help him get his shit together. 7/10, just don't call me fraulein and we'll be fine.
