Sedation Dentistry
A visit to an endodontist is meant to be a positive experience. You would be surprised to know that 3 in 10 Americans are afraid of visiting any dentist’s office. We understand that many people fear getting root canal treatment; some even forgo it or delay it so long that they lose their teeth. At Elite Endodontics, our endodontists and staff ensure that all our patients have a positive and comfortable experience. Dr. Danni Sayman offers several practical, safe, and relaxing sedation options for fearful or anxious patients.
Types of Sedation Dentistry in Endodontics
Dr. Sayman has vast experience and undergoes continual education in endodontics, anesthetics, and post-operative care to provide smooth treatment. You can feel relaxed when visiting our office in Miami Beach, FL. We use the latest techniques in sedation dentistry to avoid anxiety and discomfort. This includes:
- Local Anesthesia: This is used to keep the area around the tooth anesthetized. First, topical anesthesia is applied to anesthetize the gum. Dr. Sayman is an expert in painless anesthesia; most of the time, you will not even feel the small needle.
- Nitrous Oxide: A combination of oxygen and nitrous oxide is provided through a mask. The gas makes you feel pleasant and wears off quickly after the mask is removed.
- Oral Conscious or Anti-Anxiety Medication: You may be prescribed medication the night before or the day of your root canal procedure. It helps you feel calm and relaxed.
Benefits of Sedation Dentistry in Endodontics
There are many ways sedation dentistry can benefit during root canal treatment:
- It helps avoid fear and anxiety.
- It helps eliminate any pain or discomfort associated with the procedure.
- It makes the procedure easier for nervous patients and our endodontist. This helps make the procedure safer for the patients.
Another important benefit of sedation dentistry for root canal treatment is that it helps time fly for you during the procedure. Endodontic procedures tend to be of longer duration than other dental treatments. Patients with anxiety and fear can find it difficult to endure them. The right sedation can help you experience your time flying while feeling at ease. Depending on the type of anesthetics, you may not even realize that you have undergone a treatment session.
At Elite, Dr. Sayman provides comprehensive endodontic treatment and specialized sedation dentistry to make your root canal treatment effective, comfortable, and relaxing.
