Anxiety is a terrible thing when it comes to sitting in a dental chair for a lengthy procedure. If you need a root canal or your kids need braces and you don’t think they can sit comfortably through the procedure, it’s a good idea to ask Dr. Moore to use sedation. Sometimes sedation dentistry is called sleep dentistry, even though you’re not really asleep. The gentle relaxing agent used will make you a little groggy, but won’t put you to sleep altogether. It’s just enough to make you relax throughout the procedure so that you don’t get upset.

There are several types of Summerlin dental sedation that can be used by the dentist. Oral sedation means that you are given a pill that relaxes you. The pill, similar to valium, is usually taken about an hour before your procedure so that you’re relaxed when it’s time to start. Although you will feel drowsy, you will technically still be awake. If you have IV sedation, it will be done through a needle in your vein and will generally work faster than the pill. If you are really a basket case before heading to the dentist, you might want to ask about a deep sedation or even general anesthesia so that you’re completely knocked out and have no idea what’s going on throughout the procedure.

When you go in for your appointment with Dr. Moore, you’ll want to discuss your level of dental anxiety and decide which type of sedation is best for you. When it comes to Summerlin dental sedation, you can count on Dr. Moore to make the right decision and make you feel comfortable during all your dental procedures. You can make an appointment by calling one of our offices. Call 702-254-6700 for our Summerlin office for an appointment with one of our exceptional dentists.

Some people have a terrible time in the dental chair simply because they feel like they’re losing control of the situation. Others hate the thought of someone having their hands in their mouth. People who know they need lots of dental treatments because they haven’t taken care of their teeth are generally afraid to go to the dentist.

For those with a fear of the dentist, Las Vegas conscious sedation is something that can help them get the dental treatment they need without the panic they previously experienced. The first thing you need to do when you make an appointment with Dr. Moore’s office is to be sure you tell the staff that you have dental anxiety. Once they know your situation they can plan your dental treatments so that you’ll be completely relaxed in the dental chair.

Conscious sedation involves taking a mild sedative to relax you while you’re having dental procedures done. Sedation can be given orally, it can be inhaled, or it can be given intravenously. And if you try those treatments and you’re still not comfortable at the dental office, we can use general anesthesia to ease your fears completely.

If you have a fear of the dentist, call the office of Moore Family Dentistry at 702-791-1010 in Las Vegas or 702-254-6700 in Summerlin and make an appointment. Be sure to let them know you’re interested in Las Vegas conscious sedation.
