Easing Dental Emergencies with Sedation in Fresno

A dental emergency can be a stressful and painful experience. The sudden onset of a severe toothache, a broken tooth, or a knocked-out tooth often causes significant anxiety. This fear can make it difficult for patients to seek the immediate care they need. At OnCall Dental – Fresno, Dr. J. Art Mirelez, Jr., and Dr. Christopher Gates understand these challenges. They are committed to making urgent dental care a more comfortable and less stressful process through sedation dentistry.

How Sedation Helps During a Dental Emergency

Dental emergencies often require swift and sometimes complex treatments. For a patient who is already in pain and feeling anxious, sitting still for a procedure can feel impossible. Sedation dentistry helps manage this by inducing a state of deep relaxation. While under sedation, you remain conscious and able to communicate with the dental team, but you are completely at ease. This allows Dr. Mirelez and Dr. Gates to work more efficiently and effectively, ensuring you get the best possible care without the added trauma of fear and discomfort. The result is a smoother, quicker, and more positive experience during a difficult time.

When is Sedation Needed for Urgent Care?

Several urgent dental situations may benefit from the use of sedation. If you are experiencing any of the following, sedation can make your treatment significantly easier:

• Severe Tooth Pain: Intense pain from an abscess or deep decay can make it hard to tolerate any dental work.
• Traumatic Injury: A broken jaw, cracked tooth, or knocked-out tooth often requires immediate and precise intervention.
• Complex Procedures: Emergency root canals or extractions can be intimidating. Sedation helps you relax through these longer treatments.
• High Dental Anxiety: For patients with a strong fear of the dentist, sedation is a powerful tool to help them receive necessary care without distress.
