Dental Sedation San Diego
Dental sedation involves the use of drugs to lessen the pain or awareness associated with potentally painful dental procedures. Sedation includes medications such as valium, nitrous oxide and IV sedation. Some sedation medications are combined with a local anesthetic to minimize pain.
When is sedation used by San Diego Dentist?
Sedation is used for the benefit of the patient and can be administered for most procedures. When a particular procedure is known to likely result in pain, Dr. Aryan at San Diego Dentists will recommend the best medication for you. If you are anxious or fearful of a dental procedure, Dr. Aryan will work with you to provide the best level of comfort. Dental procedures do not have to be painful and the Pacific Beach dental office strives to make your dental visits as pain free as possible.
How does a dental sedation work at San Diego Dentist?
Exact dental sedation procedures will depend on the sedation method. If there are oral medications involved, these medicines will be taken 1 hour prior to the dental procedure. Oral local anesthetics will also be used to further eliminate pain. Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, can also be administered to induce a state of relaxation. Full sedation procedures are only done under the direction of a licensed anesthesiologist.
If you think you want to be sedated for a dental treatment, call Dr. Aryan at Dentists Pacific Beach to set up an appointment for your dental needs and discuss sedation.
Periodontal Treatment San Diego
Periodontal treatment includes scaling and root planing. Both scaling and root planing are aimed at removing calculus (tartar) from the tooth surfaces. This includes the visible or exposed surface, surfaces below the gumline and root surfaces.
Regular periodontal treatment is vital to the health of both your teeth and gums. Root planing is only done in the event of severe calculus buildup and is typically associated with gum disease as well.
Here’s what’s involved when getting periodontal treatment from San Diego Dentists.
During a periodontal treatment, we use ultrasonic cleaners, dental instruments and polishers to clean the surface of your teeth. Ultrasonic cleaners use high frequency vibration to remove calculus quickly and easily. Dental instruments can be used for final scaling or for particularly difficult buildup.
Once the tooth surfaces are free of calculus your teeth will be polished to achieve a smooth surface and make your teeth feel their best. Combined with good daily oral hygiene, periodontal treatment is the best way to keep all of your natural teeth and make your smile look its best.
When do you need a periodontal treatment?
Here’s when San Diego Dentists recommends periodental treatment:
Periodontal treatment should be done on a regular basis as part of your regular checkup plan. Regular cleaning, when combined with good oral hygiene, will improve the overall health of your teeth and gums. In the event that regular care has not been done, and the patient does not have good oral hygiene practices, more intense periodontal procedures may be required to return the gums to a healthy state.
Left untreated, periodontal disease will result in the loss of bone and eventually your natural teeth.
