Sedation Dentistry in San Diego CA
Dental Anxiety is Very Common
According to some research, up to 75 percent of Americans have some level of dental phobia, with 20 percent avoiding dental care because of this fear. If you are afraid of dental procedures, we want you to know that your comfort and safety are our top priorities at Radiant Dental Arts.
Dental Anxiety vs. Dental Phobia
Sedation dentistry is frequently misunderstood as a method of inducing sleep. Most sedatives, in reality, allow the patient to remain awake throughout the surgery. Some drugs cause drowsiness as a side effect, however nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation help to reduce anxiety during dental visits.

- Communication: Telling us what you're afraid of is an excellent place to start. We can often lessen your concern by providing you with accurate information. Before, during, and after your treatment, we will always keep you updated so that you are aware of what is happening and why we are doing it.
- Calming Techniques: Many people find that practicing controlled breathing or diverting your mind inside the room is beneficial.
- Listening to Music: Most procedures allow you to use your own headphones and listen to music. This is a wonderful method to relax and pass the time while sitting in the dentist's chair.
- Oral Sedation: Depending on the type of your treatment, you may be able to choose from a variety of sedation options, including oral sedation.
- Taking Breaks: Gesture with your left hand if you'd like to take a quick break during your procedure.
It is important to have a friend accompany you while using any type of sedation. Since sedatives are sometimes given the night before a dentist appointment, driving to or from the office is not recommended.
