Come Orthodontics And Pediatric Dentistry Offers Sedation Dentistry

Dr. David Choi, orthodontist in Long Island, eliminates dental anxiety through the availability of sedation dentistry.

2013-06-23

LITTLE NECK, NY, June 23, 2013 (Press-News.org) Patients who feel stressed about dental procedures, can now rest easy with sedation dentistry. From Light nitrous oxide to moderate oral and IV sedation, Dr. David Choi, orthodontist in Long Island, offers solutions to help patients receive comfortable, anxiety free dental health care at Come Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry.

Sedation dentistry works to help patients forget about needles, shots, tooth extractions, and other unpleasant dental stimuli. If a patient is afraid of a certain procedure or just everything about dentistry, sedation dentistry can help eliminate his or her fears. Dr. Choi, Queens pediatric dentist, offers nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation and IV sedation to complete the dental work necessary to help his patients gain a healthy, glowing smile.

"With the availability of sedation dentistry I hope that my patients can continue to enjoy a comfortable, relaxing experience at my office. It is my goal to help my patients eliminate their anxieties and fears so that they can receive necessary dental treatment for a healthy smile," said Dr. David Choi, Queens orthodontist.

Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a gas that can be mixed with oxygen and inhaled for a mild degree of sedation. A nosepiece is typically used to administer this sedative, which is used to significantly reduce a person's fears and discomfort while receiving dental treatment. Nitrous oxide is best suited for cases of mild to moderate anxiety and is the most frequently used sedation method. Under nitrous oxide patients will remain conscious and able to breathe on his or her own, with a sense of total well-being.

Oral sedation can provide a higher degree of sedation than nitrous oxide. It is a medication that is taken by mouth just prior to a patient's dental appointment. A variety of medications, including Valium, may be used for oral sedation. Oral sedation does not require needles to administer and utilizes oral sedation medication to reduce fears and discomforts.

Intravenous sedation is extremely effective for moderate to severe anxiety and is quick-acting. Dr. Choi, orthodontist in Queens, can adjust the level of sedation during the procedure so that the patient remains comfortable at all times. During intravenous sedation (IV sedation), an anti-anxiety drug is administered into the bloodstream to achieve a state of deep conscious sedation. Although the patient is not actually asleep, he or she will enjoy a heightened sense of relaxation.

"Don't let fear keep you from having a healthy, sparkling smile. Sedation dentistry can put you at ease and virtually eliminates the pain associated with dental procedures," said Dr. Choi, Long Island orthodontist. By visiting Come Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry, patients can better understand sedation dentistry and how it can help at their next dental appointment.

Americans' vitamin D levels are highest in August, lowest in February, study shows

2013-06-22

Irvine, Calif. – UC Irvine and Mayo Clinic researchers have found that vitamin D levels in the U.S. population peak in August and bottom out in February. The essential vitamin – necessary for healthy bones – is produced in the skin upon exposure to ultraviolet B rays from the sun. Vitamin D helps bones absorb calcium and can protect against osteoporosis. It's also thought to play a role in seasonal illnesses, such as the flu. Low levels of vitamin D are believed to impair "innate immunity" i.e., the body's first line of defense against pathogens. To further study this ...

New Notre Dame paper offers insights into how cancer cells avoid cell death

2013-06-22

A new study by a team of researchers from the University of Notre Dame provides an important new insight into how cancer cells are able to avoid the cell death process. The findings may suggest a chemotherapeutic approach to prevent the spread of cancers. Metastasis, the spread of cancer from one organ to other parts of the body, relies on cancer cells ability to evade a cell death process called anoikis, according to Zachary T. Schafer, Coleman Assistant Professor of Cancer Biology at Notre Dame. Metalizing cancer cells are able to survive anoikis, which normally results ...
