Escondido Dentists for Holistic Treatments

By Eric Smith


Sedation dentistry from your Escondido dentist essentially enables patients who suffer from anxiety and stress associated with the dentist's chair to receive or undergo the full suite of treatments and procedures they need in order to maintain a high standard of oral health and hygiene. Sedation itself refers to the dream-like state of detachment and utter relaxation that follows the administering of special medications designed to affect the central nervous system.

In dentistry, the only condition that can strictly speaking be called a disease is periodontal (gum) disease. The media has drawn a lot of attention recently to research showing that bacteria causing gum disease is not only found in the mouth. The same bacteria can be found in the blood stream when a patient has gum disease and may also be present in instances of heart disease. The mouth is the gateway to the body and a sound oral environment is a necessary support for a strong heart in a healthy body. Your gums are the foundation for any dental treatment.

If you are wondering about the existence of any fine print, such as "may cause painful death if inhaled on more than three occasions in any ten year period" then don't. Sedation dentistry is a highly safe and successful field, which has proved over and over again to be incredibly effective. The gas itself is slightly sweet-smelling and completely inoffensive to the nostrils (so you won't burst into a fit of allergic sneezing). It's colorless and you can breathe it quite easily.

Ideally your holistic dentist will also have a filter that will prevent the metal that has been removed from getting into the public water system. In our oceans, fourteen per cent of the pollution is caused by dental metals. Bay Area dentists are actually required to implement this type of filtration to protect the waters of San Francisco Bay. Your holistic dentist knows that your mouth is the gateway to your body, not just internally but structurally as well. The patient's bite alignment must always be factored into the total picture of dental treatment, along with specific concerns like problems with the jaw joint (TMJ).

From this discussion of Nitrous Oxide, it shouldn't take much imagination to understand why this gas has become so integral to sedation dentistry and the entire greater field of medicine! Not only can you receive the treatments you need to make a faster recovery, but because you don't feel pain and anxiety, the dentist can complete a procedure from start to finish without the need to divide it into shorter sessions for you to cope with. Using Nitrous Oxide gas in sedation dentistry, the Escondido dentist can carefully monitor and control your level of sedation without symptoms or side-effects like a -hangover' or gagging.
