From our business staff to the doctor, every team member in
our practice is dedicated to making your comfort their priority. We'll address
any apprehension you may be experiencing concerning your dental treatment as
well as take every measure possible to ensure a comfortable, pain-free
experience.
For your enjoyment.
We offer headsets to allow you to enjoy the music or a movie during your
treatment.
You are in control.
We want you to let us know how you're feeling. If you want to stop treatment
at any time, simply raise your hand. We will make sure you are comfortable
before continuing treatment.
Painless injections.
Prior to numbing, a gel anesthetic is gently swabbed on with a Q-tip. Our
anesthetic is kept in a warmer so all injections are at body temperature, which
minimizes any discomfort.
Nitrous oxide and premedication.
For those who need a little extra help relaxing, Nitrous Oxide (laughing
gas) is available, as well as premedication with anti-anxiety medications. When
the folks treating you go beyond understanding when they can empathize with your
emotional reaction to dentistry, together we can accomplish anything!
Infection control.
At The Etchell Center for Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry, we take
no risks with your health. In addition to cleaning and sterilizing all
instruments routinely as recommended by the American Dental Association and the
Centers for Disease Control, we sterilize all handpieces (drills) with a
state-of-the-art sterilization unit specifically designed for this purpose.
Finally, all clinical staff members wear masks, gloves, and glasses as well as
uniforms. We strictly observe all Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA)
guidelines.
