The Truth about Dental Anxiety

Many people who suffer from dental anxiety or dental phobia are embarrassed by these feelings, and the shame they feel can further prevent them from visiting the dentist. The truth, though, is that roughly 30 to 40 million people in America suffer from dental anxiety, making this condition far more common than most patients think. Dental anxiety can stem from a number of causes, including a previous bad experience with a dentist, a fear of pain, or even a strong aversion to the noises associated with a trip to the dentist's office.

Anxiety-Free Sedation Dentistry in Westlake Village

For his patients in the Los Angeles area, sedation dentistry at the Westlake Village office of Dr. Greenman is the long-awaited solution to dental anxiety. Sedation dentistry, which is also known as oral conscious sedation, allows the patient to relax for the duration of his or her treatment, while he or she remains fully conscious and aware of his or her surroundings.

With sedation dentistry, our patients from Thousand Oaks, Ventura, Conejo Valley and beyond simply swallow a small pill shortly before their treatment begins. During treatment, the patient remains awake and conscious, but is in a state of complete relaxation. Oftentimes, our Los Angeles area patients who undergo sedation dentistry remember very little from their time in the treatment chair, and some even comment that they feel more relaxed after their procedures than they do when they enter our office!

Sedation dentistry at our Westlake Village office is a great way for our patients to undergo numerous cosmetic or restorative dentistry procedures in one visit and with minimal discomfort.
