Many patients experience anxiety during their dental exams and procedures. These patients can be treated in a safe and comfortable manner employing either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. Dr. Jahromi will provide safe and convenient anesthesia services in the comfort of your office. IV sedation and/or general anesthesia will provide total relaxation, erase memory of the procedure and allow even the most anxious patients to be treated successfully. As part of your dental team, Dr. Jahromi will conduct a complete review of the patient’s medical history, consulting with your patient’s physician if necessary.
Many patients experience anxiety during dental procedures. Most dental procedures can be completed using local anesthesia, where the dentist injects the anesthetic directly into the tissue. However, for some patients, such as children, anxious adults, and patients with physical or developmental disabilities, local anesthetics may not be enough to maintain patient comfort and pain control. In these cases, IV sedation or general anesthesia may be recommended. This deeper sedation increases patient comfort and creates a more suitable working condition for your dentist so that he may be able to provide you with the best possible dental care.

Blood tests, a chest X-ray or an EKG may be ordered to determine if you are a candidate for IV sedation or general anesthesia in the office setting or whether you would be better served having the procedure done in a hospital setting.
Dr. Jahromi uses hospital-grade monitors and anesthesia equipment to monitor your vital signs, which include your heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, SpO2 and temperature.
