Come Orthodontics And Pediatric Dentistry Offers Sedation Dentistry

    LITTLE NECK, NY, June 23, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Patients who feel stressed about dental procedures, can now rest easy with sedation dentistry. From Light nitrous oxide to moderate oral and IV sedation, Dr. David Choi, orthodontist in Long Island, offers solutions to help patients receive comfortable, anxiety free dental health care at Come Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry.

Sedation dentistry works to help patients forget about needles, shots, tooth extractions, and other unpleasant dental stimuli. If a patient is afraid of a certain procedure or just everything about dentistry, sedation dentistry can help eliminate his or her fears. Dr. Choi, Queens pediatric dentist, offers nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation and IV sedation to complete the dental work necessary to help his patients gain a healthy, glowing smile.

"With the availability of sedation dentistry I hope that my patients can continue to enjoy a comfortable, relaxing experience at my office. It is my goal to help my patients eliminate their anxieties and fears so that they can receive necessary dental treatment for a healthy smile," said Dr. David Choi, Queens orthodontist.

Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a gas that can be mixed with oxygen and inhaled for a mild degree of sedation. A nosepiece is typically used to administer this sedative, which is used to significantly reduce a person's fears and discomfort while receiving dental treatment. Nitrous oxide is best suited for cases of mild to moderate anxiety and is the most frequently used sedation method. Under nitrous oxide patients will remain conscious and able to breathe on his or her own, with a sense of total well-being.

Oral sedation can provide a higher degree of sedation than nitrous oxide. It is a medication that is taken by mouth just prior to a patient's dental appointment. A variety of medications, including Valium, may be used for oral sedation. Oral sedation does not require needles to administer and utilizes oral sedation medication to reduce fears and discomforts.

Intravenous sedation is extremely effective for moderate to severe anxiety and is quick-acting. Dr. Choi, orthodontist in Queens, can adjust the level of sedation during the procedure so that the patient remains comfortable at all times. During intravenous sedation (IV sedation), an anti-anxiety drug is administered into the bloodstream to achieve a state of deep conscious sedation. Although the patient is not actually asleep, he or she will enjoy a heightened sense of relaxation.

"Don't let fear keep you from having a healthy, sparkling smile. Sedation dentistry can put you at ease and virtually eliminates the pain associated with dental procedures," said Dr. Choi, Long Island orthodontist. By visiting Come Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry, patients can better understand sedation dentistry and how it can help at their next dental appointment.
