Dr. VanderMolen takes exceptional care when undertaking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilespringfield.com\/our-services.html\" target=\"_blank\">dental procedures<\/a> with his patients. He understands that some people just hate to go to the dentist and are worried about the possibility of pain or are simply uncomfortable sitting in the chair.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tTo take those fears away and make your whole visit a pleasant and relaxed experience, Dr. VanderMolen can use sedation to ensure a comfortable and rewarding treatment. Relaxation is his aim and an anxiety-free patient is the result. Sedation dentistry allows essential treatments in the easiest and most comfortable way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<strong><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"#2013\/11\/Sedation.jpg\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 167px; margin: 5px; float: right;\" \/>How can sedation keep your anxiety away?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tDr. VanderMolen uses the most gentle and advanced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilespringfield.com\/sedation-dentistry.html\" target=\"_blank\">sedation dentistry techniques<\/a> at Advanced Dental Care. You will be conscious throughout the procedure but will be pleasantly relaxed all the time. If you were afraid of going to the dentist to receive much needed treatment then this technique will put you into such a relaxed state that it will relieve your fears.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tYou will be better able to tolerate any discomfort that might take place throughout the procedure. The idea is for the patient to be completely sleepy, but still able to talk and reply to questions, although there might be some slurring of speech. Sometimes the patient may not be able to recall what has taken place afterwards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilespringfield.com\/about-us.html\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. VanderMolen<\/a> uses sedation as it puts his patients at ease while completing their course of treatment and they feel so much the better for it. For a patient who has been delaying urgent dental treatment through fear, he can put an end to that by ensuring that your dental appointment is the best one you have ever experienced.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tSome people put off going to the dentist because they are busy people who are worried about the length of time it can take to complete a procedure. With sedation, the normal time in the chair tends to be reduced, as the dentist is able to complete what is needed with less distraction. This is the perfect way to save time as well as come out smiling with cared for teeth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tIf you have made an appointment with Dr. VanderMolen for a dental procedure, don&rsquo;t hesitate to ask him about the benefits of using sedation. He will only use the type of pain management that is most suitable for your procedure and your level of pain tolerance. Above all, he will ensure that you are thoroughly relaxed throughout your dental experience.
