Assessing the need for anesthesia and sedation in the general population
Article Abstract:
Many people may avoid regular dental care because they are afraid. Researchers surveyed 400 people and found that 52% see a dentist less than twice each year because of fear or anxiety. Eighteen percent reported they would be treated more often if they could receive drugs to relieve anxiety. More patients would like sedation or general anesthesia than routinely receive such treatment. Many dentists, however, refer patients requiring sedation to pediatric or oral surgery specialists. Increased use of sedation and general anesthesia may increase access to dental care among those who fear it.
