Relieving dental anxiety
Visiting the dentist makes plenty of people anxious. These are the three things we do about it.
For anyone who has put off the dentist because the chair is the hard part.
Inhaled sedation (laughing gas) takes effect and wears off quickly, and is safe for nervous children. Oral sedation is a pill for a deeper calm. IV sedation is the strongest option, for severe anxiety or longer procedures.
For the long appointment that feels longer staring at a ceiling tile.
Every care room has a ceiling-mounted flat-screen TV, so you can relax and watch your favorite show or movie during treatment.
For the toothache that cannot wait for next week.
Call 208-343-1981 right away. We will do everything we can to get you a same-day appointment and relieve your pain fast.
