Every member of our dental team is dedicated to making your time spent with us as pleasant as possible. It is our priority to make your visit as pleasant an experience as we possibly can. We will address any apprehension you may have regarding your dental treatment, as well as take every possible measure to ensure a comfortable, pain-free experience.
By taking the time to do little things such as swabbing your gums with a Q-Tip dipped in flavored topical anesthetic, we can improve the comfort of your treatment. Dr. Newman uses a gentle, slow massage technique to introduce the anesthetic to your gums. For those seeking absolute assurance of a 100% comfortable injection. We also are proud to introduce "The WAND", the revolutionary new computer controlled local anesthesia injection system that conquers fear, pain and anxiety.
For those who need extra help relaxing, Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) is available, as well as premedication with anti-anxiety medications.
Your child should have a dental appointment before his or her first birthday, and check-ups should be scheduled about every six months after that to be sure no cavities or other problems develop. During these appointments, we will talk with you about your child’s oral health and hygiene, including teething, fluoride, brushing and flossing, cavities, sealants and orthodontics. .
People with sleep apnea stop breathing while they sleep, sometimes hundreds of times per night, and sometimes for a minute or longer. Sleep apnea affects about 18 million people of all ages in the U.S. and takes three forms: obstructive, central and mixed. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the most common form, occurs when the soft tissue at the back of the throat closes, blocking (obstructing) the person’s airway. The airway remains open in central sleep apnea, but the brain does not send signals to the muscles involved in breathing. Mixed sleep apnea combines aspects of the obstructive and central types. A common warning sign of sleep apnea is snoring (especially snoring interspersed with gasps or lack of breathing) although it is not always as a result of sleep apnea.
