LOS ANGELES, CA, December 23, 2012 (Press-News.org) Whether patients are visiting Dr. Shervin Louie, Los Angeles dentist, for routine cleanings or more complex procedures, they no longer have anything to fear.

From routine cleanings to Los Angeles dental implants, sedation dentistry offers Dr. Louie a new way to combat dental fears so that his patients can continue to receive the best in quality dental care possible.

Through the use of sedatives, sedation dentistry helps to establish a relaxed, easy, and calm state for the patient. These sedative drugs can be administered in a variety of ways, including orally, inhalation and intravenously. With sedation dentistry, Dr. Louie, dentist in Los Angeles, can help provide his patients with a relaxing and anxiety-free experience so that he or she can go to the dentist to receive the dental care they need while avoiding the common apprehension known as "dental phobia."

One type of sedation used by Dr. Louie is oral sedation, which does not require any needles. Oral sedation maintains a level of consciousness for safety and cooperation, while allowing patients to relax during treatment. Dr. Louie, West Hollywood dentist, informs his patients that they are not asleep during this procedure, but are in a calm, comfortable state that allows him to successfully perfume his patients' dental procedure without complication.

Sedation dentistry also comes in the form of inhalation sedation, which utilizes nitrous oxide (N2O). Also known as laughing gas, inhalation sedation is one of the most commonly used types of sedation dentistry. Nitrous oxide is a colorless sweet tasting that is inhaled and is not irritating for the patient. Dr. Louie, best dentist in Los Angeles, also offers intravenous (IV) sedation, which is available to significantly reduce a patient's fears and discomfort during their next dental procedure. IV sedation offers quick-acting response and is extremely effective for moderate to severe anxiety. During the procedure, Dr. Shervin Louie can adjust the level of sedation accordingly to allow for ideal comfort throughout the procedure.

Patients who suffer from dental anxiety that often prevents them from receiving necessary dental care are encouraged to contact Dr. Shervin Louie for more information on sedation dentistry.
