Many people feel anxious about a visit to the dentist. We understand and share your concerns, and we strive to make every one of your dental visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible. If there is anything else we can do, please let us know. In addition to topical and local anesthetics, oral sedation is available for those patients who may need a little more help to relax. Our goal is to help you avoid the inconvenience of preventable emergencies, but unexpected emergencies can occur at any time and our doctors want to attend to your urgent needs. After hours, the office answering machine will indicate who may be available for our patient's after hours emergencies and how they can be contacted.
