Is "Natural" Toothpaste Okay for Kids?
If the thought of sitting in a dental chair makes you anxious or afraid, you are not alone. In fact, thousands of people put off seeing their dentist each year and risk the health of their smile as a result of their fears. This risk increases if you have a prediagnosed dental condition and are avoiding getting the appropriate treatment. Dr. Jason Burkett and his associates, Dr. Hien T. Ngo and Dr. Pennie Moreland, understand that you may be fearful of the dentist, and they offer several solutions.
After going over your medical history and talking with you to understand the anxiety you may be experiencing, Dr. Burkett, Dr. Ngo or Dr. Moreland will determine exactly what you need to make the experience easy on you, whether it’s local anesthesia, intravenous (IV) sedation, oral sedation or nitrous oxide. They have completed advanced training in sedation dentistry, so you know you’re in the best of hands. IV sedation is administered by Dr. Yixiang Liu, a board-certified dental anesthesiologist who comes to the office as needed.
Burkett Dentistry in McAllen, Texas is equipped with the very latest monitoring equipment and anesthetic delivery systems that control the flow rate perfectly for maximum safety. When indicated, sleep dentistry is performed at a local hospital.
IV sedation, oral sedation and nitrous oxide will help you relax during treatment by putting you into a tranquil state of mind, meaning you will feel removed from what is actually going on and have virtually no memory of your treatment once it’s finished.
Burkett Dentistry offers sedation dentistry for patients of all ages and for a whole host of procedures. It is also a viable option for patients who have severe anxiety or who have difficulty controlling their movements, as well as for special-needs patients.
