Dental Fear
Too frequently, a visit to the dentist is looked on with fear, dread and foreboding. The anxiety or fear of the dentist can be the result of a childhood experience, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress syndrome, or a fear of needles. Dental phobia affects countless individuals.

Overview
The personal care Dr. Larson provides in his state-of-the-art dental practice extends to his conscious sedation procedures as well. Patients visiting his cosmetic, general, and reconstructive dental practice in Campbell, California benefit from Dr. Larson’s experience with the techniques associated with sedation technology.
Employed in medical procedures for approximately forty years, sedation has gradually emerged in dentistry to provide greater comfort and reduce a patient’s anxiety during dental procedures.
Dr. Larson utilizes a variety of oral benzodiazepines, benzodiazepine derivatives, and piperazine derivatives to induce sedation, including Triazolam, Lorazepam, Diazepam, and Hydroxyzine.
