Once you contact Fatemi Family Dentistry, LLC to learn more, you can set up an appointment and

be walked through the procedures. You will need to provide your medical history so that the sedation

process does not interfere with any medicine or health conditions, and this will also allow you time to

express any concerns to your dentist. The more you are able to vocalize your fears, the dentist will

be able to help you make the process less intimidating.

SEDATION LEVELS

There are different levels of sedation, but you will need someone to drop you off and pick up

because you may feel a little weak and wobbly after the procedure. Your dentist will provide you with

information on when and how much you should eat and drink after your visit. Whether you just need

a checkup or have a pain you keep wishing goes away, the right sedation dentistry service in Fatemi

Family Dentistry, LLC can help make visits more efficient and less stressful.

state-of-the-art dental technology to provide our patients with the level of care they deserve. IV

sedation is very safe under these circumstances. Your Vital signes are monitored before, during and

after the procedure. Breathing is monitored as well through pulse oximetry as well Capnography that

measure the respiration. We also premedicate our patients to reduce the level of anxiety. Once they

are in the chair, they are already semi sedated.

One of the factors that patients with phobia share is that their blood pressure rises prior to the

procedure. This can present a medical risk to the patient. Under IV sedation, blood pressure is

decreased and kept under control. Patient is relaxed and is not apprehensive anymore. This is

particularly important for patients with high blood pressure or cardiac issues. IV sedation makes the

dental visit safer and more enjoyable.
