San Bruno Sedation Dentistry - Rest easy with San Bruno Sedation Dentistry
When it comes to dental visits, many people feel a bit of anxiety. There are those, however, who feel such fright over dental work that they avoid receiving the care they need. Some had unpleasant experiences in the past, while others are simply frightened by what others tell them. Regardless of the reason a dental visit may cause anxiety, our San Bruno sedation dentistry practice has the answer that will give any anxious patient the peace of mind they need to finally restore health to their smile.
Using sedation, we are able to put any patient in a state of calm and keep them there throughout even longer dental procedures. If you are one of the people who have avoided receiving dental care, rest assured that in our San Bruno sedation dentistry practice, highly trained professionals are present to work with you to determine the best form and amount of sedation to put you at ease.
In past dental care, the only way to sedate patients was with the use of an IV. This form of sedation is more complex, so sedation was not regularly offered. The IV is still used today; but patients also have the option of using nitrous oxide or a pill for less complicated procedures such as cleanings restorations, or fillings.
When you consult with your dentist, know that dental professionals are quite aware of and sympathetic to a patient's need for sedation. There is no embarrassment associated with requesting sedation for cosmetic or restorative procedures; the goal is to enable you to get the care you need. Your dentist can discuss the options and help you determine if you prefer the pill form or nitrous oxide, which is administered through a mask over the nose. In some cases, patients may require a combination of these forms of sedation.
After sedation has been administered, you will receive local anesthetic in order to numb the area being treated. Your dentist will continue to monitor your relaxed state as treatment is being completed. In many cases, patients don't remember their treatment session. Most often, however, sedation will allow the patient to remain fully conscious but deeply relaxed and free of all anxiety.
There is no need to put off receiving the care you need. Schedule your consultation to discuss sedation dentistry today!
