When Sedation Dentistry Can Help
If you have experienced any of the following issues regarding dentist visits, please contact our dentist to discuss using sedation to make your dental appointment at our Littleton, CO, practice more pleasant. It is his mission to provide best-in-class dental care to every patient.
Anxiety about Dental Work
Fear of pain is normal, as is the worry that your dentist may find a serious oral health issue. Dr. Krendl can offer sedation to calm your mind.
Unpleasant Experiences in the Past
Some patients remember bad experiences with previous dentists. Dr. Krendl will do everything he can to make you comfortable, including administering deep sedation that will leave you with no memory of your procedure.
Problems Sitting Still
If you have a medical condition that makes sitting for long periods painful or controlling movements difficult, sedation dentistry can help calm your body and eliminate aches from sitting.
Fear of Needles
Even gentle anesthetic injections for routine dentistry procedures can cause patient anxiety. Dr. Krendl is a compassionate dentist who offers needle-free sedation options for relaxation.
Sensitive Gag Reflex
This reflex can occur when your dentist touches sensitive areas in your mouth, making exams and treatment very difficult for all involved. A sedative prescribed by Dr. Krendl can help curb this reaction.
Is a Sensitive Gag Reflex Common?
If you have a sensitive gag reflex, you are not alone. Many people have this condition, which can be caused by stress or physical touch.
Please tell Dr. Krendl if you have experienced a gag reflex during previous dental visits so he can form a sedation plan to make you more comfortable.
Sedation Dentistry: Addressing Dental Anxiety
Do you suffer from dental anxiety? Dr. Krendl is IV sedation-certified. He offers three types of sedation dentistry, nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation, to help calm your nerves and provide you with a better dental experience.

View on GoogleCan I Relax without Sedation?
It is possible you can reduce anxiety yourself during minor procedures like exams or cleanings. But please let Dr. Krendl know if you would like to try sedation to make your procedure more comfortable at any time. Self-soothing techniques include:
Discussing Concerns
Tell Dr. Krendl or his staff about your fears. Just talking about it could help you relax. And never feel embarrassed to ask for sedation if you begin to feel uncomfortable.
Distraction
Listening to music through headphones or keeping an object in your hand like a stress ball can keep your mind off the sound of dental instruments or mild discomfort.
Meditation
Many patients find that focusing on deep breathing in the dental chair can be very relaxing. Apps are available for guided meditations as well.
