We care
about the comfort and well being of our patients. If you are uneasy about coming
in for your dental checkup and cleaning, we have multiple methods of reducing your anxiety
and making your visit more relaxing.
Nitrous oxide is highly effective, extremely
safe and remarkably calming. It induces a relaxed, tranquil feeling that is
perfect for many patients who may feel a little anxious about dental
treatment. Nitrous oxide is called the “conscious analgesic” because
patients remain awake and can communicate during their appointment. We can stop
nitrous oxide at any time and adjust it for your comfort. Its effects wear off quickly
which allows patients to resume their activities following the use of nitrous
oxide.
Some
patients require a deeper level of sedation in order to be comfortable receiving
dental care. We also offer oral medication and and the services of an
anesthesiologist, who can perform intravenous sedation in our office. We attempt
to make your dental treatment as comfortable as possible.
