We
know that many patients are apprehensive about receiving dental care.
At Dr. Redmond's, we pride ourselves on our ability
to make each patient as comfortable and relaxed as possible while receiving care.
First,
we listen to your concerns. We then discuss different methods for
making you as comfortable as possible. Together, we lay out a
treatment plan that will meet your needs. We have several options:
|
1. |
Dr. Redmond's
Famous Virtually Painless Injection
Most of our patients never know they have received an
injection. That's because of Dr. Redmond's famous virtually "Painless
Injection" technique. A topical anesthetic is applied to the
tissue with a swab. This anesthetic painlessly numbs the spot where the
doctor will give you one of the most gentle injections. |
|
2. |
Local
Anesthetic For Pain Free Care
Injectable anesthetics, such as
Lidocaine, prevent pain in
a specific area of your mouth during treatment by blocking the
nerves that sense or transmit pain and numbing mouth tissues.
They
cause the temporary numbness often referred to as a "fat
lip" feeling. Injectable anesthetics may be used in such
procedures as filling cavities, preparing teeth for crowns or
treating gum disease.

3. |
Post
- Treatment Comfort
We want you to be as comfortable
as possible after your care. We often send our patients home with a
supply of non-narcotic analgesics to relieve any post treatment
discomfort. These include aspirin, acetaminophen and
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen. For more involved
procedures, a narcotic analgesic may be prescribed for your comfort. |
