Is Sedation Dentistry Right For You?

Do you feel extremely nervous about the dentist and avoid coming to our office altogether? If this describes you, then you are not alone. Millions of Americans experience some form of dental anxiety, which keeps them from receiving the care and treatment they need for optimum oral health. When you repeatedly delay or cancel dentist visits, it creates a vicious cycle of avoidance, leading to potential dental emergencies and lengthy treatments, which brings back the nervous feelings and avoidance again. If dental anxiety is a concern for you or a loved one, we offer sedation dentistry at our office to help you get the care you need.

One Simple Solution To Prevent Cavities

Do you hold your breath every time you or a family member visit our office, waiting to hear if you have a cavity or not? Cavities form when areas of the outer covering of the tooth, aka the dental enamel, become damaged from decay. This can be caused by food that remains on the surface of the tooth or between the teeth. The grooves located in the rear molars are particularly susceptible as it can be easy for food and bacteria to remain lodged in these tight spaces even after brushing. Children are also more susceptible to cavities due to their frequent snacking habits and because they often do not brush properly. We have a treatment solution to help you and your family members protect your teeth from cavities. Read on to learn about this popular treatment.
