Our office provides effective, reliable, and profound local anesthesia ("novocaine") for your dental treatment. We simply will not work on you until you are completely numb and remain pain free. A variety of local anesthetics and administration techniques are used that are highly effective and truly work to provide pain free treatment as supported by the latest peer-reviewed science, anatomy, and research. Post operative pain or discomfort, if any, is controlled using over the counter analgesics and prescribed medicine. Patients who are fearful or anxious towards dental treatment can be successfully treated using conscious sedation. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation (a pill), or intravenous sedation (IV) can be utilized in a safe, monitored environment to make you feel completely relaxed, pain free, with little or no memory of the procedure. Patients who may possess a strong gag reflex, are claustrophobic, afraid of needles, or have special needs (i.e. pediatric, geriatric, disabled, medically compromised, genetic, psychological, developmental, and/or "bad life" issues) can also be treated.
Additional training, equipment, and facility inspection are required on an on-going basis to earn and maintain a State of Florida anesthesia permit. Auxiliary personnel including a Board Certified Anesthesiologist (MD) and his nursing staff are available in complex cases. Our new, free-standing, well equipped building is specifically designed to conform to state and federal anesthesia outpatient facility standards including generated backup electrical power.
