Los Angeles Family Dentist Caters To Fearful Patients

LOS ANGELES, CA, July 01, 2012 (Press-News.org) With between 9% and 20% of Americans avoiding the dentist because of anxiety or fear, Dr. Shervin Louie, Los Angeles family dentist, is happy to offer a solution to calm those fears-sedation dentistry. Some people's fear of the going to the dentist or undergoing dental procedures is so severe that they lose sleep and worry excessively about what may happen at their dentist's office. However, with sedation dentistry Dr. Louie allows his patients to get the treatment they need by eliminating their fear and anxiety.

"It is best to share your anxiety and fears because getting your fears out in the open allows my staff and I to adapt the treatment to your needs. Sedation dentistry allows me to help my patients relax while in the dental chair so that they don't avoid the necessary treatments because of their anxiety," said Dr. Shervin Louie, LA dentist.

Sedation dentistry is appropriate for patients who have a dear of dentistry, or who have had previous traumatic dental experiences. Patients, who have difficulty getting numb, have a bad gag reflex and very sensitive teeth can also benefit from sedation dentistry at Dr. Louie's office. Dr. Louie, Los Angeles sedation dentist, utilizes sedation dentistry to place patients under partial or full loss of consciousness.

Additionally, sedation dentistry focuses on reducing patient anxiety, discomfort, and pain. It can be used for procedures as simple as a cleaning or as complex as oral surgery. Dr. Louie, Los Angeles cosmetic dentist, will offer a variety of anesthetic and sedative options depending on each patient's level of fear regarding dental visits and their general pain tolerance. From oral and inhalation sedation to intravenous (IV) sedation, patients can receive the dental care they need, without their anxiety or fear.

Regardless of the sedation modality used, Dr. Shervin Louie, Mid Wilshire dentist, urges his patients to have a responsible caregiver accompany them to their procedure. With an appropriate caregiver, patients are able to take the appropriate sedation before their appointment, or during. The caregiver will then take the patient home after the procedure is complete, and stay with them an additional two to four hours at home.
