Comfort-Focused Dental Care at Scott Dental Group

At Scott Dental Group, we understand that dental anxiety is real—and it can prevent patients from getting the care they need. That’s why we offer a range of safe and effective sedation dentistry options at our Wooster and Loudonville, OH locations. Whether you have mild dental anxiety or a severe dental phobia, our sedation methods are designed to help you feel calm and confident during any procedure.

Why Sedation Dentistry?

Dental anxiety and dental phobia affect millions of people. If you find yourself avoiding appointments due to fear, you’re not alone. Symptoms may include:

  • Trouble sleeping before an appointment
  • Nervousness in the waiting room
  • Feeling physically ill at the thought of dental work
  • Panic or difficulty breathing during treatment

Sedation dentistry helps ease these symptoms and allows you to receive care without stress.
