Dental phobia doesn’t have to come between you and a beautiful smile! Sedation dentistry allows you to enjoy relaxing, stress-free dental care at Orion Dental Specialties. Dr. Melanie Farzam is your go-to sedation dentist near me, serving residents in and near Cypress and Tomball, Texas.
Dental sedation is a special medication you take to help you relax for dental treatments. This medication is tailored to your specific dental needs. Here are some of the ways sedation dentistry can benefit you:
Dental sedation eases anxiety and fear, making it easier to get dental care. Your medication relaxes and keeps you calm and comfortable in the dental chair. Nitrous oxide, aka laughing gas, makes you light-headed, while oral sedation makes you drowsy to keep you from stressing over your dental treatment. The calming effect of sedation makes for smoother, more tranquil dental visits.
Root canals, scaling and root planing, and tooth extractions can be more taxing than simple fillings or routine dental cleanings. Dr. Farzam can use sedation to put you at ease for these treatments and keep discomfort to a minimum. Sedation also reduces the gag reflex that can make dental treatments difficult to endure, so you suffer less discomfort during your procedures.
Invasive dental treatments can be painful, which is why they’re done under local anesthesia. Depending on your treatment, Dr. Farzam may combine sedation with anesthesia to give you a relaxing, pain-free dental experience.
With dental sedation, you generally remain calm and still in the dental chair. You don’t constantly shift positions or request frequent breaks. This allows Dr. Farzam and our team to work quickly and effectively to complete the work that needs to be done on your teeth. Complex treatments can be completed with greater ease. Multiple treatments can be completed on the same day, saving you the time and expense of follow-up visits.
If you’ve been avoiding dental care due to dental phobia, sedation dentistry can help you catch up on essential dental treatments to improve oral health. Dental sedation empowers you to deal with dental issues quickly to keep your smile at its best.
Sedation dentistry removes the negativity and stress from dental care, so your visits can be positive and productive experiences. Seeing your dentist will no longer cause you to panic or fear.
Dental sedation is particularly beneficial for people with special needs who don’t fully understand dental processes and treatments. It allows Dr. Farzam and our team to provide relaxing, stress-free, comfortable dental care to special-needs patients in and around our local community.
