Anxiety at the dentist is nothing to be ashamed of. Sedation dentistry methods offered at Dr. Monica Gobran & Associates can help alleviate your worries and keep you feeling more relaxed. Additional benefits of sedation dentistry administered at our Worcester, MA office include:

  • An option for sedation, including pills (oral sedatives)

Oral treatment anxieties may be a barrier to overcome for individuals of all ages. These fears usually are linked to harrowing visits, needing to have several procedures, or other factors. Worcester, MA men, women, and children may feel nervous while receiving different treatments, from more intense dental, jawbone, or gum surgeries to even biannual dental cleanings. For many individuals, simply visiting a dentist makes them feel worried. At your consultation at Dr. Monica Gobran & Associates, we will hear your anxieties and offer a practical choice of sedation that could help make your road toward achieving a hygienic and bright smile simpler and free of fears.

The sedation dentistry options we can offer you will depend on the scope of treatment and the severity of your dental anxiety. If you and Dr. Gobran decide on an oral sedative, you will receive a dose to take shortly before your appointment to help you remain comfortable. Local anesthesia may still be applied to the teeth, gums, and nerves around the treatment site.

Ahead of administering sedation dentistry at our Worcester, MA facility, Dr. Gobran will explain what you should anticipate after your treatment and give you any necessary aftercare directions. In the event that you were given oral-conscious or intravenous sedation, remember to plan for someone you trust to take you home after the completion of your procedure. Our office recommends that you relax and hydrate after undergoing sedation dentistry sessions at Dr. Monica Gobran & Associates. You will typically be sleepy and low on energy for a while afterward; however, these outcomes typically subside within a day.

Dr Monica Gobran is THE best dentist I have EVER been too. I am extremely anxious when it comes to dentists and read online that she does sedation dentistry and specializes in patients with anxiety. I went for a tooth that hurt and got a full exam, and we decided on a treatment plan. I also went back to do a deep cleaning, and didn't even need sedation! Hygienist Cindy is wonderful and everyone on her staff is so nice and friendly. This dental office actually cares about their patients and it shows. I cannot recommend enough how amazing this office is. I will not go anywhere else for dentist work, and my fear is almost gone!!!

Haven’t been to the dentist in years because of anxiety. Dr. Gobran and her staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and comfortable. They explained every thing that they were doing and made sure I was ok with it before proceeding. I don’t think I will ever like going to the dentist but I can say I’m already put at ease and not even half as nervous about going again. The best part is they offer sedation!!!!
