Sedation Dentistry for Those Who Find Scaling Difficult, Seoul Of Dental Hospital

😴 If you’re afraid of the dentist?

Receive treatment comfortably with conscious sedation dentistry Are you putting off a visit to the hospital because you’re afraid of dental treatment?

At Seoul Of Dental Hospital, for patients with dentophobia (dental phobia),

we safely provide conscious sedation dentistry (conscious sedation therapy).

💡 What is conscious sedation dentistry?

It is a method that helps patients receive treatment in a comfortable, relaxed state by intravenously administering safe medications such as midazolam and ketamine, which are used in anesthesia practice.

Although it may look like you are completely asleep,

you remain in a safe sedated state while still able to breathe on your own.

✔️ There is little to no memory of the treatment

✔️ Pain and fear are reduced

✔️ Even long treatments can feel as if they were over in an instant.

🦷 Why is scaling necessary?

Scaling is not simply about cleaning the outside surface of the teeth.

The key is removing tartar and bacteria hidden below the gums.

• Tartar causes cavities and gum disease

• If left untreated, it can progress to periodontal disease and even lead to tooth loss

• Regular scaling is also linked to overall health (such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease)

However, many people find even scaling difficult because of gag reflexes or fear.

In such cases, using sedation dentistry makes treatment much more comfortable and safe.

At Seoul Of Dental Hospital, conscious sedation dentistry can be applied to all of the following treatments.

• ✅ Scaling (tartar removal)

• ✅ Prosthetic treatment such as crowns / bridges
