Are you feeling anxious at the thought of visiting the dentist? You're not alone. Dental fear affects a significant number of people, leading them to avoid necessary dental care. At Dentist of Northridge, we understand your concerns, and we offer a range of sedation dentistry options to help you relax and alleviate pain during your dental appointments.
Sedation dentistry, also known as "sleep dentistry," involves using sedation techniques to keep patients relaxed and comfortable during dental procedures. Our experienced team at Dentist of Northridge is qualified to administer various levels of sedation to ensure your peace of mind.
Conscious sedation allows you to remain awake during the dental procedure while inducing a state of deep relaxation. This method is achieved through the use of oral medication or nitrous oxide (laughing gas). Conscious sedation is commonly used for routine cleanings, dental fillings, and other minor procedures.
Twilight sedation, also known as moderate sedation, is a deeper level of sedation where you will feel extremely relaxed and may experience some drowsiness. This method is administered through intravenous (IV) medication by our trained professionals. Twilight sedation is typically used for more complex procedures to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment.
Unconscious sedation, also referred to as general anesthesia, involves putting the patient into a deep sleep during the dental procedure. This level of sedation is administered and closely monitored by our team of anesthesia specialists. Unconscious sedation is reserved for extensive procedures or patients with severe dental anxiety.
At Dentist of Northridge, your safety and well-being are our top priorities. Our dental professionals have received specialized training and possess the necessary qualifications to administer sedation techniques safely. We adhere to strict protocols and continuously monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure your comfort and safety.
During your consultation, our team will discuss your dental anxiety, medical history, and specific needs to determine the most suitable sedation option for you. We will address any concerns or questions you may have, ensuring that you are fully informed and comfortable before proceeding with the treatment. We’ll also go over any costs associated with dental sedation and your insurance and payment options.
