3 Reasons to Choose IV Sedation
If you're squeamish about dental visits, whether you've had a traumatic dental experience in the past or you're simply uncomfortable having your mouth examined, there's a way to overcome your fears. Avoiding the dentist isn't the answer – your dental health can suffer dramatically if you don't get the proper professional care your smile needs to keep going strong.
IV sedation is an effective treatment that involves a combination of sedatives and pain relievers administered intravenously by an IV sedation expert. With IV sedation, you are completely relaxed, and the dental procedure goes by quickly. When all is said and done, you will likely have no memory of the treatment at all!
At Smile in the City, we've got specialists on hand who are experts in New York sedation dentistry, which can keep you relaxed and help you improve your smile. We've put together several reasons why IV sedation may be right for you:
1. Overcome Your Dental Fears. Dental anxiety and dental phobia are common conditions and nothing to be embarrassed about. We understand that certain dental procedures can be intimidating, so we take great care in making sure that you are as comfortable and relaxed as possible. IV sedation keeps you at ease, allows you to forget about all your fears, and before you know it, the procedure is over!
2. Rely on the Experts. In order to administer IV sedation, your dentist must be specially trained and certified in IV sedation. Dr. Zelig is a Board Certified periodontist with a permit in intravenous conscious sedation from the New York State Board of Dentistry. As an expert in IV sedation, Dr. Zelig understands that every patient reacts differently, and so he is qualified to administer the exact amount of sedation that is right for each patient.
3. Improve Your Smile … and Your Attitude! Once you’ve overcome your dental anxiety, you’ll start to see major improvements in your smile. Not only will your teeth and gums be healthy and strong, but you’ll find a newfound confidence in your step wherever you go. When your grin is bright and healthy, you’ll discover that there is a lot to smile about.
