For many individuals, dental visits are an uncomfortable situation. Those who are dealing with oral pain and discomfort due to cavities, cracked or broken teeth, severe malocclusions, TMD, extreme sensitivity or a host of other dental concerns, may be tempted to put off their regular dental check-ups indefinitely. Dr. Sandy Crocker, Dr. Peter Mitchell & Associates in central Kelowna want you to relax and know that you are not alone if you suffer from dental anxiety. Establishing comfort and trust with each and every patient is something our clinic strives for. Thanks to remarkable advancements in dental medicines and techniques, even the most apprehensive client can enjoy their dental visits!
Preventative Maintenance & Your Oral Health
Booking and keeping your regular dental check-ups twice a year can help you achieve optimum oral health. We rely on our teeth and our smile every single day. Putting off your dental visits can have a negative impact on how healthy and happy your smile is. Suddenly, a simple cavity may turn into an infected tooth and instead of a regular filling; a complete root canal may be required. Avoid intensive endodontic treatment when possible by visiting us on a regular schedule to stay on top of your preventative oral care.
IV Sedation or Conscious Sedation Can Help You Relax
Many clients think that IV sedation is only available if they are having a tooth pulled or extracting wisdom teeth. This is simply not the case. While oral surgery is the mainstay of IV sedation; we have a variety of anaesthetics available to help clients feel at ease. Conscious sedation is a method where medicine is delivered into the vein to help a client stay relaxed while they remain awake. This is a great solution to address the estimated 15% of the population who completely abandon their dental visits altogether due to dental anxiety. Clients with severe sensitivity issues, extreme embarrassment and those who cringe at the thought of a simple cleaning or filling can benefit from this proven technique.
Share Your Concerns: Communication Is Key
Our compassionate team at Dr. Sandy Crocker, Dr. Peter Mitchell & Associates utilizes the latest dental technology to provide a comfortable and relaxing office atmosphere. We encourage our clients to share any oral health concerns or dental anxiety at the beginning of their appointment to enable us to provide the highest level of customer care possible. We can update your chart to ensure that future dental visits are a breeze. Some clients undergo sedation for their regular cleanings due to exposed root surfaces or discomfort. Many clients feel embarrassed about the state of their oral health or silly for being nervous. We want you to understand that there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of or worried about; no judgement passes within our clinic. From oral sedation medication to IV sedation; we provide everything you need to ensure a comfortable appointment. Remember, nipping dental problems in their infancy can save you time, money and extensive future appointments.
