Many people get nervous when it’s time to visit the dentist for a routine check-up. Others just decide to avoid the process altogether. These fears can be holdovers from childhood; some are more recent. Whatever phobias have developed, it is important to know that there have been extraordinary improvements in the quality of dental care and the therapies that dentists use to calm their patients. When you visit your
Willimantic sedation dentist at Longobardi Dentistry, you are in the hands of a professional who will put you at ease, describe the dental procedure in detail, and explain the various types of sedation available to you.
Willimantic Family Dental Care
Dr. Mark Longobardi is an experienced sedation dentist who understands your concerns. He and his staff want you to be comfortable when you sit in his chair and will strive to put you at ease. If you have sensitive teeth, have had a bad experience in a dentist’s office, or have complicated dental problems you might benefit from sedation therapy provided at Longobardi Dentistry.
Sedation is a way to establish a relaxed, calm state through the use of medications and is safe and effective when administered by a trained professional, like Dr. Longobardi. Oral sedation dentistry maintains a level of consciousness, but it appears to the patient that he or she has slept through the entire treatment. One of the benefits of this kind of sedation is that it seems the procedure has lasted only a few minutes when it may have taken hours. Another benefit of sedation therapy provided by
Willimantic sedation dentist, Dr. Longobardi, is that you are less likely to neglect your oral health if you know sedation can be an option on your next visit.
Talk to Dr. Longobardi, your
Willimantic sedation dentist, regarding sedation. It is considered safe, but discuss with him your expectations before and after the procedure. In order for the proper sedatives to be used, Dr. Longobardi will require a medical history and a list of all the medications you are taking. This includes over the counter products. Another issue to consider is cost. Insurance may cover some sedation but not all. Dr. Longobardi’s staff can help you with any questions or concerns you may have regarding coverage.
There is no reason to delay in making an appointment. At your Willimantic sedation dentist you are in good hands. Call Dr. Longobardi’s office today. Your oral health depends on it!
