WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Oct. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The dentists at Dentist4Sedation.com offer treatments that can help alleviate anxiety and phobia so that patients can undergo much-needed preventative, restorative, or cosmetic care. At Dentist4Sedation.com, the philosophy is that everyone, including those with dental phobia, deserve the great dental care they want and need.

Sedation dentistry is the branch of dentistry that uses sedation to calm or relax patients throughout the duration of the appointment. It can be used not just for dental anxiety but also for patients who need long procedures or who just prefer to be relaxed or asleep during dental treatment. The Westlake Village conscious sedation dentists at Dentist4Sedation.com may also recommend dental sedation for patients who:

Have a strong gag reflex
Have a low pain threshold
Have sensitive teeth
Need a long or complex treatment or procedure
Feel uncomfortable with the smells, sights, and sounds of dental care
Have an aversion, fear, or anxiety about dental care

The sedation dentists at Dentist4Sedation.com offer a variety of sedation options, including:

Inhalation Sedation
A mild form of sedation whereby Nitrous (laughing) gas is inhaled through the nose during dental treatment. This provides a mild, but often sufficient level of relaxation for many patients. Since the gas leaves the system immediately after use, a patient is able to drive themselves to and from the office.
Anxiolysis (Oral sedation)
A moderate form of dental sedation, anxiolysis sedation uses sedative pills taken an hour before the appointment to achieve relaxation during an appointment. Patients are usually very drowsy, though responsive, and some even fall asleep. Most patients have very little recollection following a dental appointment with anxiolysis. Patients will need a ride to and from the dental office.
IV sedation
IV sedation is administered intravenously, and it begins to relax patients almost immediately. Patients will be unconscious and sleeping during their appointment, but they will be closely monitored to ensure that the appropriate level of sedation is maintained.
