Sedation DentistryFlorham Park, NJ

Helen Chiu, D.M.D., P.A. understands that many patients have anxiety about dental care so that even when a procedure is naturally comfortable, the idea of it can cause stress. As a painless dentist, we can provide relief from stress and anxiety without administering unnecessary pain medication. At times, patients simply take a pill prior to getting started while other patients may prefer nitrous oxide (laughing gas). This can be used when getting a bad breath treatment, teeth whitening, dental bonding, and teeth cleaning. We can even provide anxiety relief when having crowns placed, or dentures fitted. Simultaneously, as a painless dentist office, we have found that most patients don’t need any sedation or medication once they experience how comfortable dental work can be when completed by someone skilled in the art of gentle dentistry.

When searching for a dentist that provides comprehensive dental care without discomfort, we recommend that you call our office to schedule an appointment with Helen Chiu, D.M.D., P.A.. If you have dental anxiety or are concerned about how you may feel during a procedure or routine teeth cleaning, let us know. We will speak with you about the various options for sedation and create a customized treatment plan that includes how to keep you comfortable. This may involve taking a pill to eliminate anxiety, or it may require localized pain medication to numb the area. In extreme cases, as a painless dentist, patients are put to sleep while a procedure is being done. This is more appropriate for oral surgery where the procedure may last for a prolonged period of time and require complete stillness. Whatever is required, Dr. Chiu identifies ways to keep patients comfortable so that everyone can get the care that they need and enjoy their time at the dentist.

A benefit of working with a painless dentist is that it allows patients to receive the dental care that they need without feeling stressed. Millions of people suffer from anxiety, and many adults avoid the dentist, as a result. Unfortunately, this only increases the risk of a bad toothache or tooth damage and the need for an emergency dentist. Ongoing, preventative care will reduce this risk and thanks to painless dentistry, patients can receive this care in comfort.
