In fact, visiting a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.enclavedental.com\/meet-dr-thomas.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">holistic dentist<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be a downright relaxing and rejuvenating experience &#8212; and one that always has your oral and overall well-being in mind. Your sedation dentist in Southlake strives to make each appointment as calming as possible with techniques like essential oils, grounding, and lavender throughout the office. And if that\u2019s not enough to help you fully relax, we\u2019ve got more potent sedation methods at hand, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Soothing Dental Experience<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A great holistic dentist works to cultivate an environment where everyone can feel soothed and at ease. Dr. Thomas is pleased to be able to offer patients of all ages all the comforts of a spa-like environment &#8212; so you and your loved ones can lie back, relax, and smile on your way toward positive oral health. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What will you find at your holistic dentist\u2019s office, specifically? We love essential oils like Valor, which promotes relaxation and a sense of peace. We can also help you try grounding techniques, which encourage you to take note of and focus on your surroundings rather than what\u2019s going on inside your head. And lavender dispersed throughout the office permeates a sense of calm and peace. It\u2019s the kind of warm, welcoming environment you might actually look forward to visiting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other Sedation Options<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you still need a little help getting comfortable in the dental chair, we can help you relax even further with one of our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.enclavedental.com\/sedation-dentistry.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sedation methods<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Choose from nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation, depending on your level of anxiety on the day of the procedure as well as the treatment that is being performed. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nitrous oxide: You breathe the gas in through a small nasal mask throughout the procedure. Its effects make you feel light and tingly &#8212; and maybe even a little bit happy to be at the dentist\u2019s. Once the treatment is over and the mask is removed, you can go on about your day without any lasting grogginess. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oral conscious sedation: You will take a prescription medication about an hour before your appointment. By the time you are settling into the dental chair, its relaxing effects have taken over and you are removed from worry about what\u2019s going on around you. It\u2019s normal to doze lightly during this type of sedation, but you are still awake and able to respond to your dentist in Southlake. You may not remember the details of your procedure &#8212; a benefit for anyone dealing with dental anxiety. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t hesitate to contact a sedation dentist if you think you could benefit from either method. Because dental care really can be a positive, relaxing experience! <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About the Author<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Preetha Thomas is a holistic dentist in Southlake providing dental services that have your whole health in mind.
