West Los Angeles Dentistry Expert Calms Nerves, Dulls Pain with Sedation Therapy

    LOS ANGELES, CA, August 21, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- West Los Angeles dentist, Dr. Neda Naim, DDS, has incorporated sedation therapy into her treatment to help patients get through virtually any procedure. Her West Los Angeles dentistry practice has several methods of sedation available to cater to patient preference. Sedation treatment is specifically used to help patients relax during treatment, lessen pain, and help appointments pass by quickly.

Dr. Naim is board certified in performing conscious sedation. She is using sedation therapy to help her patients open up to treatment when they would otherwise refute or delay care. "Many of my patients hold off on vital treatment because they get squeamish about the pain or discomfort," said Dr. Naim. "Sedation therapy is a great way to help patients with elevated levels of anxiety move past their fears and relax through treatment."

There are numerous methods of sedation available, and all sedation therapies help patients handle pain during treatment and represses anxiety. These methods include intravenous injection (IV), nitrous oxide gas inhalation, and oral conscious sedation (OCS).

Typically, the dentist selects the best option depending on the procedure, anxiety levels, and medical history of the patient. Sedation can be used for treatments such as route canals, dental implants, periodontics, tooth extraction, or other invasive procedures, as well as general appointments if the patient experiences symptoms of anxiety.

"With sedation therapy, there is very little excuse for the patient to skip any appointment," said Dr. Naim, a West Los Angeles dental implants expert. "There are many options when it comes to sedation dentistry. Dentists can provide low levels of sedation for those who experience lower levels of anxiety or have fears towards less invasive procedures, or we can just as easily as provide sedation to help patients through more invasive procedures."

Sedation therapy holds patients in a relaxed, tension-free state, while maintaining a low level of consciousness so patients can cooperate with the practitioner. In most cases, patients feel as if only moments have passed by even in lengthy procedures, and they have little to no recollection of the procedure said Dr. Naim.

It is important to discuss the various sedation options with your dentist before treatment. Patients are advised to have transportation arrangements made after the procedure, and in some cases it may be beneficial to have the practitioner monitor the patient for a few hours after the patient regains consciousness.
