Sedation Dentistry

Dr. Kavianpour Relieves Dental Anxiety in the Sterling, Lansdowne Area

Does a trip to the dentist make you nervous or fearful? You're not alone. According to the Academy of General Dentistry, up to 40 million Americans avoid trips to the dentist because of fear or anxiety. Dr. Kavianpour has been treating phobic patients with oral sedation dentistry for over 20 years.

Oral sedation dentistry involves a mild sedative that calms fearful patients and allows us to perform several procedures in a single office visit. Simply take the medication at home, and then have a friend or family member drive you to our dental office. When you arrive, Dr. Kavianpour will monitor your vital signs and confirm your level of comfort. With oral sedation, you will remain conscious during the procedure, though many patients drift in and out of sleep. Many people have little memory of their dental procedures after oral sedation.

If you experience anxiety about going to the dentist, need complex procedures completed in a single visit, don't respond normally to traditional numbing agents, or have a sensitive gag reflex, talk to Dr. Kavianpour about oral sedation. Don't avoid the dentist's office any longer. Dr. Kavianpour can give you the beautiful, healthy teeth you deserve with sedation dentistry.

Call our dental office today to speak with someone who understands your fear. Dr. Kavianpour treats patients in the Sterling, Lansdowne area with oral sedation dentistry.
