ANXIETY EASING SEDATION DENTISTRY
Are you like 1-in-3 people who experience some level of anxiety when it comes to visiting the dentist? We understand where you’re coming from. In fact, Dr. Finley didn’t enjoy dental appointments growing up, either. One of his priorities as a dentist in Los Angeles is to provide a gentle experience where our patients can access the dental care they deserve. That’s why Flossn Dental and Orthodontics offers sedation dentistry options to make your visits more relaxing.
REASONS TO CONSIDER SEDATION DENTISTRY
Sedation dentistry helps alleviate anxiety and fear, making it easier for you to relax during your dental procedures. It also helps manage conditions like sensitive gag reflexes. For some dental procedures, especially those involving more extensive treatments or oral surgeries, sedation dentistry can help manage discomfort and pain effectively while you tune everything out.
By incorporating sedation into your visit, Dr. Finley can combine dental procedures into fewer appointments, reducing the number of visits you need. This can be especially beneficial for patients with busy schedules.
NITROUS OXIDE SEDATION
One of the most popular sedation options we offer is nitrous oxide, also known as "laughing gas." Nitrous sedation is a safe and effective way to relax during your dental procedure. Laughing gas takes effect quickly, helping you relax within a matter of minutes. Once the procedure is complete, the effects wear off just as fast, allowing you to resume your daily activities. Plus, it’s safe for all ages.
SEDATION WITH AN ORAL SURGEON
Thanks to our partnering oral surgeon, we also offer deeper dental sedation options to suit your comfort level and the complexity of your dental treatment. Our team will assess your medical history and discuss your anxiety levels to determine the most appropriate sedation method. Options such as oral or IV sedation allow you to reach a deeper level of relaxation, making it ideal for more complex or lengthy procedures.
Plus, many of our patients report having little to no memory of the dental procedure when using oral or IV sedation, which can be a significant comfort for those with dental anxiety.
