Ideally, dentistry is preventative. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that you visit your dentist regularly – at least once every six months – to ensure proper oral hygiene and functionality. Regular checkups and oral health maintenance prevent the development of serious dental problems that can require costly treatment. If you remain vigilant and visit your dentist regularly, you can enjoy exceptional dental health.
About 30 million Americans suffer from some degree of dental anxiety or dental phobia. If you're one of them, consider sedation dentistry. Sedation dentistry can help you get the dental care you need without being crippled by swells of anxiety and debilitating fear. And if you're someone who likes options, you'll love sedation dentistry. You can choose from light to mild sedation, which help you feel relaxed and calm but keep you awake and aware. Unsure what's right for you? Consider discussing sedation during you consultation.
