When worried about dental problems, locating a good dentist will take away half your worries. When in need of a dentist people generally ask around and listen to stories of dental horrors in depth before deciding against a particular dentist. It often turns out that almost everyone you meet has one horror story to relate.

Not everyone has a good "pain threshold" - a measure of pain tolerance. Dental procedures have always been associated with pain. Innovation has brought sedation dentistry to the rescue. This branch of dentistry tries to make each dental procedure as painless as possible. Very long procedures, very young patients, patients with conditions that cause involuntary movements, patients who tend to give in to panic attacks... are but a few type of people who benefit from sedation dentistry. The sedatives used may be oral, intravenous, topical or in deserving cases even general anesthesia. Nitrous oxide, popularly referred to as laughing gas, may also be used. If you have a low pain threshold check out whether the dental clinic you have approached has adequate facilities to provide you a suitable sedative. The sedative should suit both the procedure and you. If you have any known drug allergy be sure to tell it to the dentist beforehand.
