There are many dental procedures offered by your periodontist that when performed utilizing sedation dentistry are completed quickly without the dreaded anticipation of the appointment.
Sedation dentistry is an excellent option for people who are unable to sit for extended periods, suffer from anxiety, and those who are squeamish about needles.
