Yuma Gentle Dentist

Not too many people enjoy going to the dentist. In fact, several of you hate it and actually associate dentists with pain. We don't think it should be that way and want to make your visit as pleasant as possible.

Gentle Dentist Techniques

There are many things our dentists can do to put you at ease. Sometimes, a simple distraction is all that is needed. Pop in your favorite music to focus your attention elsewhere. Or enjoy a movie on one of our in-room televisions. The appointment will be done before you know it!

Another effective technique is nitrous oxide. This mild relaxant, sometimes known as laughing gas, is breathed in through your nose. It will help you relax and allow the dentist to work more efficiently. When your appointment is over, the effects wear off almost immediately by breathing in some oxygen for a couple of minutes.

If you are extremely anxious or fearful of the dentist, ask us about sedation dentistry at 928-782-3839. By simply taking a pill before your appointment, you will be so relaxed that you likely will not even remember what happened.
