PAIN DURING PROCEDURES
During most dental procedures, you should not feel any pain while the dentist is working. If you do, you should let him/her know and s/he can give you more anesthetic. It is not a hassle and the dentist definitely wants you to be comfortable, so don't be shy. If it hurts, say something, because being completely numb will make your experience much better!

SCREAMING CHILDREN
Many parents think that when their child cries in the dental chair, it's a sign of pain, when often times the child is just scared. If your child is nervous, pediatric dentists are excellent in managing their anxiety. It also helps if you, as the parent does not explain to your child what is going to happen. Specialists use child friendly methods which are less threatening, to explain to your child what is going to happen, and it makes the experience easier for everyone.

FLUORIDE
Fluoride has been proven to be one of the least expensive, and most effective ways to help reduce the incidence of dental cavities, yet some people still insist on avoiding it like it is poison. If you are one of those patients who gets new cavities every check up and do not use a fluoridated toothpaste, you might want to think again.
PATIENTS: If you would like to refer the dentist office that you go to, we would be grateful for your recommendations! Referrals
