What are the main reasons to use sedation?

really is important to be aware of sedation dentistry if you suffer
from dental phobia, because neglecting your teeth and not visiting the
dentist can have harmful lasting effects to your oral health, and can
often result in severe last minute surgery which can be expensive and
not to mention painful.
Sedation dentistry has many great benefits for sufferers of dental phobia:
It allows the patient to visit their dentist without any pre-visit nerves and allows the dentist to complete the course of treatment in fewer visits than they would normally be able to do so.
