You’ve been dreading this day for a month. Every day the appointment on your calendar moved closer and closer, and now, the day is finally here. Your heart beats too quickly, you feel dizzy, sick. Suddenly, you’re sure you are sick. Maybe it’s the flu. You should just call and cancel the appointment. On your way to the phone, you take a deep breath, and the rush of cool breathe over your teeth results in stabbing pain. You need to go to the dentist, but the anxiety is overwhelming. You may be surprised to hear you’re only 1 in more than 40 million people in the US who report experiencing phobia or anxiety related to dental visits. The good news is that you don’t have to deal with unnecessary stress related to dental treatment. Dr. Ramsin K. Davoud, the sedation dentist Turlock, CA turns to, and his  dental team offer oral conscious sedation to help patients relax and receive the dental care they need. Call to find out more today.

Sedation Dentistry Turlock Turns To

Dr. Davoud and his team know that many patients suffer from some level of dental fear or anxiety, but we never want our patients to experience unnecessary stress to receive the dental treatments they need. In order to provide the most versatile, effective sedation dentistry for our patients, we offer oral conscious sedation. This is an ideal treatment for patients with severe dental anxiety as your relaxation begins from the comfort of your own home. At an initial appointment, Dr. Davoud will prescribe an oral sedative, and direct you to take the sedative at a specified time before you arrive at our office.

A friend or loved one will need to bring you to your appointment and pick you up after. Once you arrive at our office, you will already feel very relaxed. Throughout your procedure, you remain awake, but most patients report experiencing a sleep-like state. We monitor your vitals to ensure safety. Once your treatment is completed, you should plan to return home and rest for the remainder of the day. This allows your body to heal after the procedure, and gives the sedative time to wear off. By the following morning, most patients report feeling back to normal, and not remembering much if any of their visit.
