Queensland (Australia), 21st June 2012: According to a dentist in Gold Coast from Paradise Smiles, a dental surgery clinic in Hope Island, Australia, most patients coming in for a dental surgery suffer from high anxiety issues. This has not only been found in children but also in adults and have often posed to be a serious problem during the surgery. Patients have complained of being overly uncomfortable and uneasy even through the initial phase of the check-up.

The Hope Island dentist extended his concerned further stating that patients often rendered unstable even under local anaesthesia. This can result in accidents and has been causing a serious concern for dental surgeons at Paradise Smiles.
However, the dentist in Hope Island claimed, this problem can be easily avoided with Sleep Dentistry. This is a new technique and has been implemented in many dental clinics around the world. Here, all the necessary check-ups and the surgery are done while a patient is asleep.

While this does not necessarily mean that a sleep dentist in Gold Coast will implement this technique on each and every patient they treat, it can help patients who are overly nervous about a dental surgery or check-up. Local anaesthesia will always be a more preferred option in dentistry. However in cases where patients tend to lose their cool and their anxiety makes it difficult for the surgeons and the staff, sleep dentistry can be a great option.

According to the Gold Coast dentist from Paradise Smiles, nothing feels better than seeing their patients leave with a smile on their face and without any trace of fear. The interesting part of the conversation was that the dentists had observed stress and anxiety more with the adult patients when compared to children who were visiting clinic.

While the scenario may be different elsewhere, sleep dentistry seems to be a good option to try out for patients who tend to get stressed and anxious at the dental clinic.
