How Sedation Dentistry Works to Relieve Dental Anxiety

Dentist for Anxiety Patients Near Me In Beverly Hills, CA

Sedation dentistry offers the perfect solution if you’re one of the thousands of people who avoid dental care due to fear and anxiety. Sedation dentistry can be used for any dental treatment, from routine cleanings to root canals, tooth extraction, cavity treatment, and other invasive procedures. Dr. Fanny Yacaman from Beverly Hills Advanced Specialties of Dentistry is your go-to dentist for anxiety in Beverly Hills and nearby communities.

How Sedation Dentistry Works

Dental treatments can produce fear, stress, and anxiety in some people. Sedation dentistry uses medication to help people relax during their dental treatment. This medication comes in the form of:

nitrous oxide, aka “laughing gas,” which is inhaled through a mask before your treatment
a sedation pill you can take orally an hour or so before your procedure or
a sedation drug given through an IV during your treatment

Dr. Yacaman will review these options with you and recommend the best procedure, depending on the treatment you need. The effects of nitrous oxide generally subside by the end of your treatment, enabling you to drive home on your own afterward. If you choose a sedation pill or IV sedation, you’ll need to bring a driver to take you home upon completion of your treatment.
