Fighting fear, supporting the best dental experience with relaxing and safe IV sedation

Posted By: Dr. Al A. Fallah | Published On: May 10, 2024 | IV Sedation

As a holistic dentistry provider, Dr. Al A. Fallah has left no stone unturned and no detail unconsidered when it comes to the comfort, health, safety, and satisfaction of his patients. From our warm and inviting office in Carlsbad, California, Dr. Fallah and the Dentistry for San Diego team provide patients with the “little luxuries” that make a big difference in your dental experience. These soothing amenities range from noise-canceling headphones to the non-pharmacologic Alpha-Stim® AID system.

However, we also have additional “helpers” in the form of trusted IV sedation. Dr. Fallah is licensed in this relaxing option. Oral surgery and other lengthy or more complex procedures may call for this deeper method of dental sedation or “sleep dentistry.”

Additionally, it can be well-suited for patients undergoing other types of procedures and services. These individuals may not have seen a dentist in a while due to their fear or anxiety over dental visits. Sometimes, this fear is rooted in early childhood experiences. Certain clinical sounds, sights, and sensations may trigger fear and apprehension. Many of our techniques and approaches have eliminated these common triggers.

But, with IV sedation, these dental surroundings simply melt away. That’s because the sedative, when introduced intravenously through a vein, quickly induces a deep state of relaxation and calm. You may become very drowsy and without a care in the world. Relaxed patients are generally easier and safer to treat, as any fidgeting or other physical responses to stress are no longer an issue or concern. We can also treat you more quickly and even perform longer and multi-faceted treatments. So, this approach helps minimize the number of trips you make to our office.

Additionally, as a licensed provider of IV sedation, Dr. Fallah safely customizes treatment and can quickly and easily adjust the dosing as needed. While patients do not “go under” and remain awake and capable of communicating with our team and responding to stimuli, IV sedation is associated with lingering grogginess. It is essential to arrange for a reliable family member or friend to drive you to and from the Dentistry for San Diego office.

Do not put off essential care due to fear. Call (760) 730-1600 to discuss your concerns with our friendly, highly skilled, and non-judgmental team in Carlsbad, CA, today.
