For many people, dental procedures can be intimidating. This fear often arises from past negative experiences, word-of-mouth narratives, peer influence, or excessive exposure to misleading content on social media and search engines.
Regardless of age, a significant percentage of the population suffers from dental phobia.
If your clinic offers a solution to address this fear, it becomes a powerful Unique Selling Proposition (USP).
Among available options, oral/nasal sedation and nitrous oxide inhalation remain the most commonly used methods for managing anxiety. These can be administered as routine outpatient procedures by trained dentists or nurses.
IV sedation, however, requires advanced monitoring and clinical expertise and is best performed in a hospital setting under the supervision of an anaesthetist.
