Do you feel anxious when you think about visiting the dentist? Dental anxiety is a serious problem that affects millions of Americans and can interfere with them getting the care they need. Sedation dentistry offers them an alternative. Our Los Angeles dentist can help you decide if sedation dentistry is right for you.
Sedation can be used in several ways. One of the most common ways is to help you feel calm, relaxed and at ease throughout your dental appointment. Most types of sedation allow you to remain awake and aware but deeply relaxed or even drowsy. This can help you better manage your anxiety and may even be enough to help you conquer it.
Another way sedation can be used is to allow the patient to complete multiple procedures at once. Many people suffering with dental anxiety avoid seeking necessary dental care, which can leave them with multiple issues. Treating several or all of the problems at once can minimize pre-appointment anxiety while allowing patients to get the treatment they need while feeling relaxed.
Some patients may also benefit from sedation dentistry if they are having long or involved dental procedures. Give us a call today to discover if sedation is right for you or to schedule your appointment with our expert in sedation dentistry in Los Angeles.
