We Cater to Cowards by Eliminating Pain
Many patients fear the shots that are sometimes needed to numb the mouth. We can eliminate that fear by proving to you that painless shots are possible. And if you are one of the many people who don’t get numb easily, we will believe you. We won’t proceed with treatment until you are completely numb.
Eliminating Anxiety with Sedation
Nitrous oxide is a light kind of sedation mixed with oxygen that you breathe in through a nose mask. It can alleviate stress and anxiety and help you feel more relaxed during your appointment. It can also help increase the effectiveness of novocaine, helping you get numb more easily.
If you would like, we’ll give you a medication to take about a half-hour before your appointment. It will help you let go of your anxiety and relax. Find out more about how nitrous oxide and a pre-appointment medication can help you overcome your fear by visiting our sedation dentist page.
