As you may be aware, many patients in need of dental treatment stay away because of fear. These patients often wait until something hurts and go to the dentist in crisis. These appointments are often uncomfortable and increase the patients fear of dental treatment. Many teeth that could have been saved with early intervention are needlessly lost due to avoidance of treatment by the fearful patient.
With new evidence supporting the role of poor dental health in cardiovasular disease, lower birth weight babies and cerebral vascular accidents, it is a concern that so many high fear patients are not receiving the dental care they need. If you are a adult patient who:
1. Break appointments do to fear
2. Cannot get numb
3. Are needle phobic
4. Have a high gag reflex
5. Have had traumatic dental experience
6. Have very sensitive teeth
7. Simply dont have time.
Then we invite you to consider "Totally Relaxed Dentistry". We will use an oral sedative and complete your general dentistry needs while they are sedated. This is not IV sedation and does not render the patient unconscious or unresponsive. It is simply a way of sedating the patient in such a way that allows them to be completely comfortable through their dental visits and have a pleasant experience.
As an active member of the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation, I have been specially trained in the safe and effective use of oral sedation for adult patients. Our practice is dedicated to successfully treating these highly challenging patients. Many of these adults have lost all hope of treatment by our profession. Many complex multiple visit procedures are completed in as little as one visit. So its also possible for the busy professional to reduce the number of visits necessary to achieve optimal oral health.
