Silver filling removals are painless and anxiety-free!
At the holistic dentistry office of Dr. Pearl Zadeh in Woodland Hills, silver filling removals are painless and anxiety-free!
How Pearl Zadeh, DDS Ensures that Silver Filling Removals Are Easy and Painless
If you’ve previously had a cavity, you may have received a silver amalgam filling to treat it. It’s easy to tell—just open your mouth and check for the appearance of metal on your teeth. Many patients have concerns about silver fillings because they contain toxic mercury. At her holistic dentistry practice, Dr. Pearl Zadeh offers silver filling removals that strictly adhere to professional guidelines for safety. The procedure can be somewhat lengthy, however, which may cause a little dental anxiety. That’s why we take every precaution to ensure that the procedure goes smoothly and painlessly. In addition to getting a local anesthetic, you may be interested in your options for treating dental anxiety during silver filling removals.
Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide)
Laughing gas might not actually make you laugh, but it will definitely relax you. We typically recommend it for patients with mild dental anxiety and those who have trouble staying comfortable for long dental procedures. Its superior safety record means that it can even be used for pediatric dental patients. Dr. Zadeh will adjust the level of laughing gas to suit your exact needs. Don’t be shy about voicing your preferences!
Oral Conscious Sedation
If you have moderate dental anxiety, an oral anti-anxiety medication may be a good option for you. It won’t force you to fall asleep, but you’ll feel deeply relaxed. Unlike laughing gas, the oral medication doesn’t wear off immediately after the treatment. With this in mind, you will need to have a responsible driver available to take you home.
IV Sedation
For patients with severe dental anxiety, Dr. Zadeh may recommend intravenous sedation. While this medication won’t force unconsciousness the same way that general anesthesia will, patients will typically fall asleep and will retain no memory of the treatment.
