If you are going to the dentist as a last resort you are not alone. According to the director of the Dental Fears Research Clinic at the University of Washington in Seattle, Peter Milgrom, DDS, an estimated 20 percent of Americans experience enough anxiety about the dentist to go only when absolutely necessary.*
Many people are afraid of the pain that has long been associated with the dentist’s office, but our doctors stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in dental technology and comfortable dentistry so you can be calm and relaxed the entire time you are at our office. At Sparta Dental we make it where you can rest easy through your appointment!
Dr. Knoll and Dr. Morgan want all of their patients to feel completely comfortable at our office, so they offer a selection of relaxation dentistry options with the help of her exceptional team. Perhaps there are even some you did not know were available, including:
A pill is prescribed that you take an hour prior to your appointment. You will be relaxed before, during, and after the procedure. You will need a friend to drive you to and from our office.
This is an extremely powerful topical anesthetic that is rubbed onto your soft tissue. Sometimes no additional injectable anesthetic is needed for your procedure. It is ideal for patients who are afraid of needles and shots.
We are taking every precaution necessary to limit the exposure of any virus within our office to protect our valued patients and staff. While we have always implemented the highest standards of infection control (above what is recommended), you will also see some new protocols that we would like you to be aware of.
