Smiles at Fairfax Corner Partners with Horizon Anesthesia Group to Offer Safe Sedation

FAIRFAX, VA, October 17, 2012 (Press-News.org) There are many, many patients who avoid going to the dentist because of high anxiety or dental fears. Dr. Riaz Rayek of Smiles at Fairfax Corner understands this, and he does all he can to offer patients the best, most comfortable dental experience. After all, receiving dental treatment right away can lessen the chances of more serious dental problems occurring in the future.

Partnering With Trained Anesthesiologists
To receive the best dental care under sedation, it is very important to entrust your health to trained professionals. That is why Dr. Rayek chooses to work closely with the board certified anesthesiologists of Horizon Anesthesia Group.

All of the anesthesiologists are Diplomates of The American Board of Anesthesiology, which distinguishes them as board certified. They are committed and dedicated to providing a relaxing, comfortable, and safe environment for all dental procedures.

To do so, they constantly monitor patients vital signs, anesthetic gas concentration levels, blood oxygen levels, and lung carbon dioxide levels. This promotes superb, complete patient safety for all dentistry appointments.

To further ensure patient safety, all anesthesiologists of Horizon Anesthesia Group are certified and trained in adult and child CPR. In case of any emergency in the dentist office, rest assured, the anesthesiologists and Dr. Rayek are trained to provide exceptional care.

Types of Sedation Options at Smiles at Fairfax Corner
In order to meet the needs of our patients, Dr. Rayek offers a couple of different sedation dentistry methods. First, oral conscious sedation is offered for patients who feel anxious and fearful. This is great for patients who feel uptight, tense, and anxious during the hours leading up to the appointment. It is within those hours that Dr. Rayek will prescribe the sedative medication (in pill format) to be taken by the patient. Oral conscious sedation can relieve that anxiety and tension.

Second, general anesthesia is offered for patients who want to be completely asleep for the appointment. General anesthesia is typically only offered within hospital settings, but with advanced technology and highly trained, certified anesthesiologists, dental patients can now benefit from this sedation option. General anesthesia is safe, and is becoming more popular in dental offices around the country.

Anxiety-free Dentistry for Your Next Appointment
It is quite easy to find out if sedation dentistry is right for you. A consultation with a dentist is the first step. For instance, Dr. Rayek offers complimentary consultations to determine which dental services are right for a patient, and if sedation dentistry is the best, most healthy avenue for an anxiety-free appointment.

It is very important to receive the dental treatment needed right away to lessen the chances of making the dental problems worse (and even causing harm to your overall bodily health). With safe sedation dentistry, patients who are fearful and anxious can now receive the dental care they need and deserve.

Smiles at Fairfax Corner is a modern dental practice that focuses on top-notch patient care. They offer a wide selection of general and cosmetic dentistry services, as well as sedation dentistry.
