Esteemed dentist, Dr. Kevin Hogan of Smiles by Hogan, helps curb dental fear in Charleston, SC by providing leading-edge sedation dentistry at his Mt. Pleasant practice.
CHARLESTON, S.C., March 3, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dr. Kevin Hogan, dentist and founder of Smiles by Hogan located in Mt. Pleasant, SC, helps patients reduce their dental fear and get the care they need. He achieves this goal by utilizing leading-edge, safe sedation dentistry techniques to make visits less stressful for individuals worried about going to the dentist for treatment.
Dental anxiety is a common condition affecting a high percentage of children and adults. It presents itself as a low-grade or severe fear of the dentist that can lead many people to avoid making or keeping dental appointments. Unmanaged and unaddressed dental fear can put individuals at risk of not getting the oral healthcare they deserve, leaving them at greater risk for developing gum disease, cavities, tooth pain, tooth loss and related systemic issues.
"Twenty-five percent of the public does not go to the dentist out of fear," says Dr. Hogan. "Sedation dentistry allows patients to have the needed dentistry done, that they wouldn't get done otherwise, in a comfortable environment."
At Smiles by Hogan, Dr. Hogan helps patients with dental anxiety by offering a relaxing sedation dentistry technique known as oral conscious sedation. Oral conscious sedation involves taking medications before the start of treatment to ease patient worries, as well as improve mental and physical comfort levels. Patients who undergo oral conscious sedation dentistry have a sense of calm throughout procedures, allowing them to undergo single or multiple treatments during one visit. Many individuals with dental fear appreciate this type of so-called "sleep dentistry" to enable them to undergo tooth extractions and dental implant placements, not to mention routine cleanings, with comfort.
