Sleep & Sedation Dentistry
In many cases sedation is used to ease the stress of a dental visit. Almost all people have some level of phobia associated with a visit to the dentist. Whether it is derived from a negative experience in the past or just a general fear that you have always held, this is perfectly understandable since the mouth is one of the most sensitive areas in the entire body, having one of the highest concentrations of nerve endings. Furthermore, every person has a different level of pain tolerance; what may be extremely painful to one might be only slightly uncomfortable to another. We have board certified anesthesiologists who are highly skilled at the art personalizing a sedation treatment. On your first visit to Diamond Bar Surgery Center you will be interviewed about your past dental experiences so we can get an idea about the level of sedation that you will require. If at any time during your procedure you experience pain, do not hesitate to tell Dr. Adams or an assistant and we will make the proper adjustments to make your procedure as comfortable as possible.
Sleep dentistry is when the patient is sedated and anesthetized to a level where they are completely unconscious. When working with special needs patients, such as someone who is Autistic, has Down syndrome, or is developmentally disabled, it is often necessary for them to be unconscious for their own protection. There are just too many sharp tools used in dentistry to risk an injury to the mouth due to an unexpected movement. Sleep dentistry is also highly beneficial to those with extreme dental phobia. For these individuals getting even a simple cleaning can feel like a nightmare, as any work being done in the mouth could trigger severe anxiety, gagging, or pain. Sleep dentistry is the perfect solution because you have no pain, discomfort, or unsettling memories of the procedure. You simply wake up with everything completed. If you have a loved one with special needs, or simply desire to have sleep dentistry for yourself, contact the most experienced sleep dentistry staff in the Southern California area at Diamond Bar Surgery Center.
