Anxious and Fearful Dental Patients Have a Reason to Smile: Dr. Ramin Assili Now Offers Sedation Dentistry Treatment

    NORTHRIDGE, CA, July 30, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Northridge dentist, Dr. Ramin Assili of the Smiles LA, is now offering sedation dentistry as a treatment. When Dr. Assili began practicing dentistry, he noticed a high number of patients that had a hard time attending their dental appointments due to an overall fear of going to the dentist. Other times patients came in panic-stricken and terrified with pain from dental emergencies that could have been prevented with routine checkups, but were avoided. After years of practice, Dr. Assili fully recognizes the anxiety that going to the dentist can bring to some of his patients. Enough is enough, though. Therefore, Dr. Assili has now obtained the proper training to help his patients ease their dental phobia through sedation dentistry.

Between 9 and 20 percent of all Americans avoid going to the dentist because of a dental fear or phobia. It is commonly a hidden fear from family and friends, but a universal one at that. A lot of patients are afraid of the fact that there is work being done inside of the mouth, where it is delicate and you cannot see what is being done. Some people who are afraid of needles have an even harder time, as they fear the insertion of the needle for local anesthesia. Whether patients are afraid of the loss of control or simply fear any pain related to going to the dentist, Dr. Ramin Assili can help.

Sedation dentistry uses a variety of medications that help people relax, including inhaled, oral and IV sedation. Patients can choose from minimal to more deep sedation, depending on the extent of their phobia. Even with minimal sedation, patients can be fully calm and relaxed while their procedures are being done.

Dr. Assili now offers sedation dentistry at their Northridge dental office to relax patients before and during any procedure or routine checkup to give them piece of mind. He has received and completed training from DOCS Education to be one of the local dentists with this training.

After earning his BS.in Biochemistry from California State University, Northridge, Dr. Ramin Assili received his DDS from UCLA School of Dentistry. He continued his training and graduated from one of the world's most advanced centers for dental implantology, Misch Implant Institute. Soon after graduating, he was accepted to one of the world's most respected dental associations and became a fellow at the International College of Implantologists.

After having nearly two decades of experience in dentistry, Dr. Ramin Assili offers dental implants, porcelain veneers, and other cosmetic dentistry procedures. He is a member of the Academy of General Dentistry, the American Dental Association, the California Dental Association, and the Los Angeles Dental Society.
