Family Dentist in Maple Grove Eliminates Dental Anxiety With New Procedure

MAPLE GROVE, MN, August 30, 2012 (Press-News.org) It is estimated that up to 20 percent of the U.S. population are afraid to visit the dentist, even for routine examinations. Dr. Ryan Francis, family dentist in Maple Grove, understands that many patients suffer from these fears and anxieties, and to help relieve this fear he is proud to offer sedation dentistry for his patients.

Sedation dentistry is a safe and easy alternative that allows patients to get their teeth cleaned and receive other dental treatments in a relaxed state-without worry. Drs. Ryan Francis and Mazhary, Maple Grove cosmetic dentists, are happy to offer this option to help their patients receive the care they need before their condition worsens. Additionally, sedation dentistry is also an option for patients who are suffering from an over active gag reflex, TMJ pain/TMJ disorder, have difficulty with dental anesthetics, or are physically or mentally impaired.

"Our office provides several sedation dentistry options for individuals who need treatment, but are too afraid to visit our office. We are committed to providing our patients with the care they need to undergo important treatments, and sedation dentistry allows us to do just that. We look forward to further helping our patients receive comfortable, convenient care so that they can smile longer," said Dr. Ryan Francis, cosmetic dentist in Maple Grove.

One of the simplest forms of sedation dentistry is oral sedation, which is the use of a pill to offer a state of relaxation. Before a patient's appointment, Dr. Francis or Dr. Mazhary, Maple Grove family dentists, will prescribe a pill that will be taken by the patient before the process begins. Since oral sedation is a sedative, patients will need a companion to drive them to and from Grove Health Dental. Once the oral sedation medicine takes effect, a patient will feel completely relaxed for their appointment.

Another popular method of sedation dentistry is nitrous oxide, which is an odorless and colorless gas that distracts patients from pain and allows for complete relaxation during a dental procedure, such as implants in Maple Grove. Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is administered by Drs. Francis and Mazhary through a small mask that helps to eliminate any anxiety felt before the procedure.

Through the use of sedation dentistry, Drs. Francis and Mazhary, Maple Grove sedation dentists, hope to continue to provide patients with exceptional dental care through the elimination of their anxieties. Sedation dentistry offers further proof of Drs. Ryan Francis and Aram Mazhary's continual dedication to providing the best care possible at Grove Health Dental.
