SEDATION DENTISTRY IN THE GREATER KANSAS CITY METRO AREA
DON'T LET ANXIETY KEEP YOU OUT OF THE DENTIST'S CHAIR
LET US HELP YOU EASE DENTAL ANXIETIES
Believe it or not, dental anxiety is a common problem experienced by patients of all ages. Unfortunately, the stress or fear associated with being in the dentist's chair can cause patients to put off routine dental check-ups, cleanings, or forgo dental care entirely. This often worsens the issue or can lead to the need for more intensive or invasive dental procedures.
Koehn Dentistry & Aesthetics is committed to creating a welcoming and calming environment for all of our patients. We want you to be as comfortable as possible when you visit our office, and we invite you to call 816-505-2222 to discuss what sedation or medication options may be available to you.
IS SEDATION DENTISTY RIGHT FOR ME?
Sedation or the use of oral medications can be a helpful resource to patients with a real fear of the dentist or for those that experience elevated discomfort while undergoing dental procedures. There are various levels of sedation that can be prescribed to a patient, whether in the form of nitrous oxide gas or medication prescribed ahead of your scheduled procedure. Dr. Tyler Koehn and our friendly dental staff will go over the various options available, along with providing any details and guidelines for post-visit care.
