Dental Anxiety

Can CBD Oil Help My Dental Anxiety?

Looking for ideas to help you overcome your dental anxiety? Many people experience some level of anxiety and even fear when thinking about going to a dental office. Their feelings can be based on something that actually happened to them during a previous dental appointment, or it can be related to what they think will happen. Either way, these feelings of anxiousness can really get in the way of one’s ability to see their dentist on a regular basis. If you are someone who experiences anxiety and looking into your options that can help you better deal with it, then finding out more about how CBD oil works is a great idea.

CBD oil is currently being suggested for use by those who experience dental anxiety, have a gum disease or receding gums, experience teeth sensitivity, are looking for oral pain relief and/or are not sleeping well through the night.

What you need to know about anxiety and CBD

About CBD oil

CBD oil, aka cannabidiol oil, is obtained from the cannabis plant. Researchers are still exploring all of the ways CBD oil use can benefit people, and one of those ways is by helping people who experience anxiety problems. It works by helping to reduce any anxious feelings someone is experiencing, allowing them to feel much calmer and therefore more relaxed. CBD oil can be added to food, making it easy to consume, and it does not make people high because it is obtained from a type of cannabis plant that only contains very small amounts of THC.

Can CBD oil help dental anxiety?

CBD oil is thought to contain many benefits, which is why it is currently being studied as a treatment option for many different types of disorders as well as diseases like diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis and anxiety. The two main types of anxieties that are being explored include social anxiety and generalized anxiety disorder. Dental anxiety falls under both of these types.

Additional benefits of using cannabidiol oil

CBD oil can also help to reduce inflammation and pain. These are two more benefits that come with using these special oils derived from hemp-based cannabis plants, which can help those who are experiencing difficulty make it to the dental office. While the FDA has not yet approved CBD oil, it is predicted that it is only a matter of time before they do.

Do you need help with your dental anxiety?

Whether your dental anxiety is something newly experienced or something that you have been dealing with for many years, it is important for you to find a solution that will help you no longer feel the anxiousness that prevents you from getting the dental care that you need. You may opt to try other methods for dealing with your dental anxiety before trying CBD oil, like meditating or choosing a deeper sedation method, as it is up to you. If you feel you are ready to try CBD oil, then we look forward to hearing from you so we can get you scheduled in for a consultation appointment.
