Nonhyeon Station Dentist: If you're putting off cavity treatment because you're afraid, try sedation anesthesia

I am Kim Tae-hyung, the chief director of Blanch Dental Clinic, and I have worked with many patients with dental phobia so far.^^

'Cavity treatment'

Just hearing that word alone probably already makes many people feel heavy-hearted.

Even I, as a dentist,

feel tense when I’m the patient.

Just the smell of medicine and the sound of the drill make my shoulders stiffen.

But what happens if you just leave a cavity alone?

A small cavity can turn into a larger one that requires root canal treatment.

In the end, it may even reach a point where extraction is necessary.

For more details,

you can check my YouTube channel, 'Dentist King'!^^

Before you end up needing expensive implants..

Prevention would likely be the better choice, both financially and for your health.

As a dentist, today I’d like to talk about cavity treatment and sedation anesthesia at Nonhyeon Station Dentist.

1. Cavity treatment: why is it so scary?

Source: Knowledge iN

A large number of people who visit Nonhyeon Station Dentist are afraid of cavity treatment.

This fear is a very natural reaction.

It’s because of the sound of the drill, the vibration, and above all, the thought that it might hurt.

In fact, I went to a university hospital where a junior colleague works for a checkup, and I felt nervous.

If even I, a dentist, felt that way,

how much more would ordinary patients feel.^^;

But that doesn’t mean you can delay treatment.

That’s true in terms of cost and time as well.

So in the end, even if you’re scared, I hope you won’t keep putting it off.

I’ll explain what to do in the following section.

2. Cavity treatment with sedation anesthesia?

These are the benefits

What are the advantages of receiving cavity treatment with sedation anesthesia at Nonhyeon Station Dentist?

The biggest advantage is that you hardly remember the treatment process at all.

Patients finish treatment while comfortably asleep.

A lot of people really react with, 'Oh? Is it already over..?'

There is also the advantage of being able to treat multiple cavities at once.

Instead of needing to split treatment across 2-3 visits, you can finish it in one session, reducing the number of visits.

I think this is a huge benefit for busy modern people.

Of course, some people worry that sedation anesthesia might be dangerous.

This is somewhat of a misconception.

What we use is called conscious sedation, so you do not completely lose consciousness.

We use a combination of midazolam and ketamine to create a sedative effect.

We make sure that respiratory function can be maintained as it is.

When done this way, there is no concern about addiction either.

I’ll explain the specifics in more detail.

3. Nonhyeon Station Dentist?

Get treatment 'like this'

The most important thing when receiving cavity treatment at Nonhyeon Station is choosing a trustworthy dental clinic.

This is especially true for sedation anesthesia treatment, where you need to be even more careful.

Our clinic also checks the patient’s health condition before treatment.

Whether they are taking any medications,

whether they have any allergies,

what their past anesthesia experience was like..

We need to ask about these details in depth.

And during treatment, we monitor oxygen saturation, heart rate, blood pressure, and more in real time.

Even though this is a different method from general anesthesia..

Because the patient’s safety comes first, I think this is absolutely necessary.

It costs more and the process is more complicated, but it is something that should never be overlooked.

Also, just because it is sedation anesthesia treatment does not mean the quality of treatment is lowered.

On the contrary, it requires an even more careful approach.

Because treatment is performed while the body is relaxed, medical staff need to stay in a state of alertness.

Today, I explained cavity treatment and sedation anesthesia at Nonhyeon Station Dentist.

It is true that the longer you delay cavity treatment, the bigger the problem becomes.

However, not only the teeth..

fear also keeps growing, and that is the real problem.

For that reason, I think sedation anesthesia is something worth considering.

Once you’ve experienced feeling that it is okay, you won’t be as afraid.

If you have any questions about this process, feel free to ask.

This has been Kim Tae-hyung,

the chief director of Blanch Dental Clinic.

Thank you.

Wishing you to shine brightly,
