Dental Anxiety Relief Options
Help to Eliminate Your Dental Anxiety
As visiting the dentist may not be something you look forward to, we understand your concern with dental anxiety. For treatments and procedures that produce dental anxiety, we want you to be aware of your options. Oak Bark Dental office offers an array of safe and monitored methods, including needle-free options, so that you can relax on the day of your procedure – anxiety free.
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous Oxide, known commonly as laughing gas, is a sedation dentistry method that has been used by dentists for decades. Inhaling nitrous throughout your dental procedure, helps you feel a state of relaxation and helps to reduce pain.
Nitrous oxide is a safe and reliable that Dr. Kristina Palmer and her team can use. Working with the natural flow of oxygen helps their patients recover quickly. You are able to drive yourself after using nitrous oxide during your dental work.
Local Anesthetic
A local anesthetic numbs a localized part of your mouth for your specific procedure. By administering a numbing medication into your gum or cheek, we centralize the anesthetic solution and only numb a certain part of your mouth. Because you are not being sedated, you are able to leave the office as you did when you arrived.
Other Services
Our dentists and team take continuing education classes and courses to stay up-to-date on technology and techniques that allows Oak Bark Dental to assist you with all of your dental health needs.
