Making Comfortable Dental Care Accessible with Sedation Dentistry

ental fear is an issue that many people face, and since being comfortable at the dental office is often key to getting necessary dental treatment completed, sedation dentistry can be an incredibly valuable tool to help patients gain access to quality dental care in a setting that best suits them.

Sedation dentistry uses medication to help with relaxation during dental procedures.

The level of sedation can range starting from minimal inhaled nitrous sedation, taking a pill for conscious sedation, IV sedation capable of being continuously adjusted by the provider, all the way up to the complete unconsciousness of general anesthesia.

The broad range of options can make care accessible for the extremely anxious dental patient, and even help patients with special needs receive the excellent dental care they deserve.

I

n most situations, sedation dentistry is most appropriate for those patients who

have: large amounts of treatment, tooth sensitivity, physical issues which make sitting still in a dental chair difficult, trouble getting numb, or extreme dental phobia.

When trying to find out if you might be a good candidate for sedation dentistry, it is always a good idea to consult with a trusted dental professional.

T

o help ensure that the sedation procedure chosen is the absolute best option for each patient, it is important that sedation candidates are forthcoming with their health history, choose a knowledgeable provider, and ask their dentist about any potential risks involved. With several sedation options available, getting necessary treatment (even for those suffering from dental-related anxiety) has never been easier!

To find out if sedation dentistry could be right for you, please feel free to contact us today at 417-887-1220, or visit us on our website at www.parkcrestdental.com.

Fireworks in litigation can be expensive!

The guy you are divorcing or your child’s father may be a jerk but you do not want to spend a lot of money demonstrating that principle. Remember, where you have “principle” you always pay interest. Use your time with your lawyer wisely. Most lawyers (like doctors, dentists and accountants), bill in incremental time. In the case of lawyers those units are typically blocks of minutes.

For instance, many lawyers will charge in six minute increments. As an example, at $200 per hour, one six minute increment has a value/cost to you of $20. If you have a two minute conversation with your lawyer, that is one six minute increment, or $20 in fees.

If you have a seven minute conversation, that is two six minute increments, or $40 in fees. To realize maximum efficiency under this system plan ahead before meeting with or talking to your lawyer. Save your questions for one conversation, rather than

calling up your lawyer every time you have something on your mind. Four two minute conversations equals $80 in legal fees.

One eight minute conversation equals $40 in legal fees. There is always a natural inclination to talk to your attorney as a friend but socializing can become expensive. If you invite your attorney to lunch (or viceversa), find out first if it will be “on the clock.”

If you’ll be discussing business, have a pen and paper with you so the lunchtime information doesn’t disappear with the last cup of coffee.
