FAQ

Diamond Dental answers some frequently asked questions (FAQ) regarding dental sedation:

Sedation dentistry is the administration of sedative drugs to relieve mild-to-severe anxiety, as well as keeping patients comfortable during longer dental treatments.

You may want to consider sedation dentistry if you:

  • Have a deep-rooted phobia of the dentist resulting in anxiety or panic attacks
  • Are afraid of needles
  • Are overly concerned about pain
  • Have difficulty sitting still for an extended time
  • Are having a long procedure
  • Have difficulty getting numb from anesthesia
  • Gag easily
  • Have very sensitive teeth and gums
  • Become nauseous by the smell of a dental office

Sedation is used to relieve anxiety and to help a patient relax. To relieve pain, anesthesia is used. The combination provides the patient with a relaxing and pain-free dental appointment.

Yes, it’s completely safe as long as it’s performed by a trained and licensed medical professional. As your trusted Sacramento, CA dentist, your safety is our number one concern, and you will be closely monitored to ensure your safety under sedation.

We use two different types of sedation:

  • Oral-conscious sedation: uses a pill(s) that you take orally and works in a matter of minutes.
  • Intravenous (IV) sedation: Custom-tailored IV sedation performed by Dr. Padval.

The time frame you are sedated usually ranges between one and six hours, depending on the type of dental work you are having done. Your Sacramento dentist is an expert and will provide you with the appropriate amount of sedation needed for your treatment.

If you receive oral-conscious sedation, it’s unlikely that you will remember much about your treatment; in fact, some patients even fall asleep. If you receive intravenous (IV) sedation it’s unlikely that you will remember anything from your treatment.

You may experience some minor side effects, including:

  • A dry mouth during or after the procedure
  • A very brief period of amnesia upon waking up
  • Headache or nausea
  • Grogginess (this is usually the most common symptom)

We ask that you have someone drive you home from the appointment. We advise you that you do not operate a vehicle or any other piece of potentially dangerous equipment for at least 24 hours afterward. Basically, take it easy at home for a few hours, ideally with someone there to look after you.

Meet

Sheetal S. Padval, DDS

CA Dental License #: 100809

Dr. Padval is a talented and caring dentist who always brings a wealth of knowledge and positivity to the office. She thoroughly enjoys meeting all the new patients and looks forward to helping them improve their health and creating smiles they can be proud of!

Dr. Padval first attended Rural Dental College at Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) back in India, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS). In the US, she attended NYU College of Dentistry and graduated with a DDS in 2016. While at NYU, she received honors in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, honors in Craniofacial Anatomy, and honors in Research. She has also completed oral surgery externships at Emory University and Texas A&M University.

Along with her California dental license, she has an additional sedation certification, which allows her to offer moderate (IV or oral) sedation services for dental procedures.

Dr. Padval is a believer in lifelong learning and keeps her knowledge up-to-date with boundless hours of continuing education courses—in all aspects of dentistry! Specifically, she has attended Spear Education workshops on occlusion, advanced occlusion, and live implant training. She has also completed courses relevant to the Academy of General Dentistry’s fellowship requirements and courses on sedation consulting.

Sheetal Padval, DDS

Dr. Padval also believes in giving back to the community. While attending NYU, she participated in a pediatric dentistry outreach program, as well as volunteering for Odyssey House, where she provided dentistry for patients in substance abuse rehabilitation programs. She has also worked in Nicaragua, providing outreach and placing dental implants, and previously volunteered her time as a zookeeper at the Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary!

When she is not practicing dentistry, she is traveling for her dental CE course (most likely!) and also enjoys drawing, painting, gardening, tending her fresh and saltwater aquaria, and spending time with her family.

Learn More About Her Journey!

Why dentistry? My simple, honest answer is, “Because I did not want to go to art school!”

Back in India, I had already secured admission to the topmost art school (which was my dad’s dream for me). I was great at art, but I always had more inclination toward medicine, so when the counselor told me that medical admission was closed, I was really upset as that meant that art school was inevitable. Then the counselor suggested dental as an alternate choice, and I honestly enrolled myself in dental school just to avoid going to art school!! That has been the best decision of my life! My first dental school in India was an accidental decision, but when I went to NYU College of Dentistry the second time around, it was a well-thought-out decision. Dentistry is this amazing blend of art, science, and psychology (in my humble opinion) that has fascinated me for over a decade. Dentistry is my “Ikigai!” (a Japanese concept of finding a purpose that is fulfilling in all aspects of life.)

With that said, my journey took me through several workplaces and different models of dental practice, such as corporate dentistry, community clinic dentistry, private group practice, etc. Still, I realized that to get my vision into reality, I needed to have complete control of things, and here I am!

I consider myself lucky, as while taking over Diamond Dental of Sacramento, I acquired the best team of similar-minded professionals, Tiffany, Shayna, Luz, and Tracie, who are all very skilled, patient, and committed to providing positive dental experience in every way!
