Candidates for Sedation Dentistry

Being nervous about a dental checkup is a fairly common experience. When those nerves are interfering with your ability to even get through the doors of our dental office, they can affect your dental health by keeping you from the preventative care that you need. If you have been struggling with overwhelming fear or anxiety regarding dental checkups or necessary treatments, our Northridge dentist can help.

We offer sedation dentistry, which uses oral or inhaled medications to calm and relax you. You may be a candidate for sedation dentistry if you:

•    Have extreme anxiety or fear
•    Have difficulty getting numb
•    Have a dental phobia
•    Have a severe gag reflex
•    Need to have multiple procedures completed during one appointment
•    Prefer to feel completely comfortable and relaxed during your appointment

Thousands of people struggle with dental phobia or dental anxiety, which can be severe enough to keep them from getting not just preventative dental care but also acute care. We offer several sedation options that can calm and relax you and help you receive your necessary treatments without personal or emotional distress. Give us a call today to learn more about available sedation options or to schedule an appointment with our expert in sedation dentistry in Northridge.
