    KINGMAN, AZ, November 16, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Millions of Americans decide to skip dental and doctor appointments due to anxiety and fear of pain. In recent studies, it has been noted that 5 to 8 percent of patients avoid the dentist, and approximately 20 percent of patients will only go to the dentist office as a last resort, according to the Dental Fears Research Clinic at the University of Washington in Seattle.

Avoiding the dentist only increases the damage to oral health and overall well-being, but many patients don't consider the risks of untreated dental issues. Dr. Barry J. Uldrikson, Kingman, AZ dentist, completely understands that some patients will have anxiety and stress before sitting down in the dental chair; thus, he offers sedation dentistry, so patients can sit back and relax while he provides the best treatment for a healthier smile.

Patients tend to see the dental chair as the root problem of their oral pain, but that's a misguided belief. It's less about the pain and more about the lack of control patients have while sitting in the dental chair. That's a reasonable reason as to why patients come into the dentist office with butterflies in their stomach.

According to Dr. Uldrikson, sedation and general dentist in Kingman, "While dentists work on a patient's teeth, it's difficult for patients to freely move around. That can make some patients nervous, but it's nothing to worry about. If a patients believe something is going to hurt, they cause their nerves to become hypersensitive to any situation, even when treatment is pain free."

While in a relaxing environment, patients realize how comfortable and pain free a dentist appointment truly is. At Dr. Uldrikson's practice, he offers sedation dentistry for patients who need a little extra relaxation during their dental visit.

Some forms of sedation are oral sedation, inhalation conscious sedation and IV conscious sedation. All three use different methods to calm patients. Oral sedation is given by mouth and come in pill form or a dissolvable (placed under the tongue). All oral medications have a safe track record, and our commonly found in most dentist offices. Nitrous oxide (inhalation conscious sedation) is inhaled through a nasal hood, and it effectively treats anxiety and stress. Patients remain awake during treatment, but they feel safe and comfortable at the time. IV conscious sedation is exactly as it states-the medication is administered through the bloodstream.

As one of the best family dentists in Kingman, Dr. Uldrikson makes sure to assess all patients' needs in accordance with their specific treatment. No matter the case, patients always leave Dr. Uldrikson's office with a treated smile and a relaxed state of mind.
