Sedation Dentistry
Most people dread going to their dentist appointment. The main reason is many people fear the pain that is usually associated with dental procedures during their appointment. Probably the most feared is wisdom teeth pain that comes from extraction or having a tooth pulled, but your dental pain fear can now be wiped out forever. In Orange County, dental procedures do not have to be painful, thanks to our pain free dentist, Dr. Burdick. With the advancement of the dental medicine industry, sedation dentistry procedures are much safer, painless and are now available to patients.
Orange County pain free dentist, Dr. Burdick, provides sedation options that are painfree. These sedation dentistry options provided by our Orange County pain free dentist can greatly reduce discomfort and help the patient relax before, during, and after dental procedures. The sedation dentistry provided by our pain free dentist relaxes the patient during the procedure. This makes the dental procedure feel much shorter and easier not just for the patient, but also for the dentist. Two of the painfree options that our dentist, Dr. Burdick provides are "Nitrous Oxide" and "Oral Conscious Sedation".
Nitrous oxide sedation dentistry uses a chemical gas compound popularly known as "laughing gas". It is simply breathed in, has no smell and doesn't irritate. When used for sedation dentistry it makes the patient feel warm and a feeling of well-being, euphoria or floating. Nitrous oxide works very rapidly as it reaches the brain within 20 seconds and it's pain-killing properties develop after two or three minutes. There is no "hangover" effect as the gas is eliminated from the body within three to five minutes after the gas supply has ended. The patient will be fully conscious throughout the dental procedure, but will be painfree. At our Orange County dental office, the nitrous oxide is administered by a breathing mask and monitored by the dentist.
"Oral Conscious Sedation", is a sedative orally administered by way of a pill. The patient often falls asleep . This method is considered to be much safer than general anesthesia, and allows the patients to drift on the dental chair and the patient may experience some degree of amnesia and not remember the dental procedure. Like the other type of sedation dentistry method, this will make the whole dental procedure to seem much shorter and pain free for the patient and be performed with much ease for the dentist.
