Visit a Sedation Dentist in Anaheim After an Accident

As a sedation dentist in Anaheim, we are changing the way that people receive dental care.  Traditionally, dentists perform treatments while a patient is fully aware.  Sometimes local anesthesia is administered so by way of a shot in the gums of the specific quadrant being worked on.  This is effective but getting a shot can often lead people to have anxiety as can being aware of the procedure itself.  We offer a better solution using sedation.

If you have ever avoided visiting the dentist in the past or are doing so now, let us know.  This is incredibly common since so many people are fearful of the dental drill or the overall experience.  Sedation will help you to relax so that it will not be overwhelming.  This is especially important after being in an accident since if your tooth has become damaged, it needs to be treated immediately.  For example, if you are in a car wreck and chip or crack your tooth, leaving it exposed allows bacteria to enter the tooth and to create an infection.  In this scenario, it is likely that you will end up with a severe toothache and the need for a root canal in addition to needing a dental restoration.  If you visit our office immediately and allow us to restore your tooth, we can prevent further damage and an infection from ever starting.  Some of the common restorations that we offer are: dental crowns that cap your tooth to prevent anything from touching it, dental veneers that are bonded to the front of your tooth, and dental implants to replace your tooth.  All of these restorative procedures and more can be completed while you are sedated.

How you can benefit from visiting a sedation dentist in Anaheim

When you visit our dental office, we can provide you with oral sedation.  This is a small pill that you can take an hour before your treatment begins.  It will help you to be completely relaxed, comfortable and anxiety-free.  Some of our patients feel drowsy and fall asleep while others do not really remember what happened during the dental treatment.  You will still be in control of your body and be able to respond to commands, but the experience will be a pleasant one.  For most of our patients, this can make the difference of a dental appointment being stressful or entirely relaxing.

One of the reasons that we like to administer sedation is that it makes it possible for us to perform all of the dental procedures you need in one visit.  When patients are anxious, it makes it so that we often need to break up the treatments into several appointments. This is entirely possible, but it is inconvenient for you, our patient.  Needing to stretch out the treatment time means that you need to take more time off of work and that your overall recovery will be delayed.  By simply providing sedation, this inconvenience can be avoided entirely.
