Dental Tourism and Sleep Dentistry in Los Cabos

Dental tourists have been using the Angels Touch clinic in San Jose del Cabo for many years, and Dr. Pena has many years of experience and is the ex- president of the Baja Sur Dental Association, and she graduated with high honors from University Autonomous in Mexico City.
One of these needs that her clinic, Angels Touch, provides is a full service of anesthesia for what is now more commonly known as Sedation or Sleep Dentistry. The Sleep or Sedation dentistry is very popular for those that need root canals, dental implants and tooth ex
tractions. By making use of Sleep Dentistry people may have 2 or 3 visits rather than 8 or 10 by accomplishing much more during each visit because the patient is asleep.
Many people avoid seeing the dentist for fear of pain; dental phobia. Dr. Pena can arrange for a licensed, experienced anesthesiologist to come to Angel’s Touch clinic to provide a completely safe service using Oral sedation (pills), Intravenous, Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or a general anesthesia.
These sedation services are mostly offered at the clinic and work for extensive dental treatments and surgeries however in some cases depending on the needs of the patient they may have to make use of the local hospitals and the dentist them would perform their services at the hospital. Nitrous oxide for example and full anesthesia can only be administered in a hospital so if you require to be knocked out then they will arrange to make use of the hospitals.
