About Dental Fear, Anxiety and Phobia...

You are not alone! Studies have revealed that 5-15% of the US population is avoiding dental treatment because of fear. That equates to 15-45 million people! For some it's fear of needles, pain, loss of control or prior trauma. 


Few people know they can have their dental work done under general anesthesia and fewer pursue it. 


I have treated many people who have avoided even dental exams for 10 years or longer. Sadly the only thing that will get them into the dentist is when they're in severe pain and they're suffering from severe breakdown of their dentition and periodontal disease.


Research has shown that these patients, once they finally seek treatment on average require restoration or extraction of 6-8 teeth minimally. I have treated patients who have required treatment for over 20 teeth, and without your wisdom teeth, you only have 28 teeth total.


If you or someone you know is avoiding the dentist, I can help. Please contact me so I can put you at ease and help  you get the treatment you need under general anesthesia.
