Sedation Dentistry

Many people experience anxiety when it comes to visiting the dentist. Sedation dentistry is one way that your Encinitas Dentist, Dr. Fallah, exercises his commitment to making your experience pleasant and comfortable, by helping you to relax during your procedure

You will remain responsive, but in a deeply relaxed frame of mind, similar to "snoozing."

Why use Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry is a good way to alleviate the anxiety or discomfort that some people experience at the dentist. Patients who might consider sedation dentistry include those who:

• Are afraid of going to the dentist
• Have had unpleasant or traumatic experience at the dentist
• Have difficulty with numbing or local anesthetic
• Have a strong gag reflex
• Are made uncomfortable by the smells and tastes associated with dentistry
• Hate needles
• Are embarrassed about their teeth

Another advantage of Sedation Dentistry is that when a patient is sedated and relaxed, complex procedures can be completed in a fraction of the time that it would take if the patient were fully alert.

This means that Sedation Dentistry can also be a good option for people who have more complex dental problems or who simply have a limited time for their procedure.

Sedation Dentistry can be an excellent way to make your visit to Dr. Fallah's office easy and convenient. You'll wake up - with almost no memory of undergoing the treatment - to the excitement of your brand new smile.
