"I remember the Assistant escorting me to the treatment chair, but after that, I don't remember anything until Dr. Rich said, 'We're all through.' I felt like I'd taken a terrific nap! Then he handed me a mirror so I could see my new smile. I was thrilled to tears, literally!"
Your Comfort Is Always A Priority
An estimated one-third of American adults experience anxiety associated with dental visits, with many so fearful that they avoid dental care altogether. For this reason, Dr. Rich and Dr. Carmichael have completed additional training to provide Oral Sedation.
In pill form, Oral Sedation allows patients to be totally relaxed before, during and after treatment with little or no memory afterwards. There are no needles used to administer the medication and patients have a quick recovery. Numbing to the area treated is administered once Oral Sedation has relaxed the patient fully.
In addition to fearful patients, Oral Sedation is also ideal for adults with...
- High fear or very sensitive teeth
- Difficulty getting numb or a heightened gag reflex
- Limited time to complete dental care
- A dread of needles and shots
Drs. Rich and Carmichael make your comfort a priority at every visit as do each member of our staff. Please mention any concerns prior to your procedure so your needs can be addressed at an appropriate level.
