Most people can manage dental treatment with little more than some slight anxiety. For some people however, going to the dentist is a lot more difficult. Whether it was a bad experience as a child or some other issues, the fear makes it very difficult for some people to take care of themselves.

We know that people who avoid dental treatment due to excessive fear and anxiety don’t get the care they know they want and need. They don’t have a nice smile and their dental problems continue to get worse. This causes even more worry.

We understand that these fears are real and that dealing with people’s concerns is just as important as fixing their cavities. That is why we offer “sedation dentistry”

“Sedation Dentistry” is done by taking a sedative tranquilizer medicine and may be supplemented by breathing nitrous oxide. Someone will need to drive you to the office and accompany you into the office. You will be awake but very relaxed, you might be woozy and disoriented, so you cannot walk alone.

After your visit, you will find that you won’t remember very much, even though you’ll feel fine. You must be accompanied by a responsible adult who can also take you home and keep an eye on you for the next few hours. Even though you may think you feel okay, you could lose your balance and slip and fall, so be sure to take it easy for the rest of the day.

We want to do everything we can to make your visits as pleasant as possible. Let us know any way we can help.
