Are you afraid of the dentist? With the sedation dentistry
practiced at Shoreline Dental Care, formerly anxious patients actually enjoy
going to the dentist!
Supportive staff and
environment
Dr. Joseph Tartagni anf his staff are committed to making
your visit to their offices as relaxed and stress free as possible. To that
end, Dr. Tartagni practices sedation dentistry techniques to enhance the usual
methods of eliminating pain and discomfort.
Sedation dentistry
Training in sedation dentistry techniques is among the many
continuing education courses and training programs Dr. Tartagni has attended annually
since first practicing dentistry. The main goal of sedation dentistry is to
help anxious patients reach a state of relaxation so that a visit to the
dentist feels less stressful and uncomfortable than it might otherwise seem.
Afraid of the
dentist?
Caring sedation dentists like Dr. Tartagni of Shoreline Dental Care understand that
you are not afraid of them, actually, but anxious about what you perceive may
happen. Unpleasant past experiences in a dental office are the cause of anxiety
for some people, a fear intensified by the smells, sights and sounds they
encounter as soon as they walk through the office door. Not really afraid of the
dentist, other patients may simply dread the local anesthetic needle; some
people have extremely sensitive teeth or a strong gag reflex that makes having
even the smallest dental instruments in their mouths unpleasant. Often, if patients have delayed getting the
dental care they need until they are in pain, they worry about how much work
will be required and how much it may hurt- and this is sedation dentists can help the most.
