Avoid the Dentist in spite of Tooth Aches, Bad Breath and/or being Embarrassed About Your Teeth or Smile?

Have a Strong Gag Reflex?

You are part of the 145 million people in the U.S. who avoid the dentist, and half of them do it out of fear! Even some dentists themselves have not helped in making the dental experience pleasant. Perhaps while in the dental chair you’ve heard guilty condemnations like, “You’ve really neglected your teeth” or “You should take better care of yourself”. Comments like those don’t exactly keep you coming back.

What most people, and unfortunately many dentists, forget is that we are all programmed with a built-in aversion to repeating a negative experience. For some people this instinct becomes so strong that they avoid the dentist like a bad disease. Some get physically sick just thinking about a trip to the dentist and will not go back even though they wish they could have a better smile, cleaner teeth or a more youthful look.

Your Painless, Guilt-Free Dental Experience is Waiting For You and…

You CAN have the smile you’ve always wanted!

Here is What You Need to Realize:

1. Dentistry has changed. Various sedation techniques are now available that offer you the comfort and pain-free level that is right for you. You just have to make sure the dentist has the ability to offer a full range of sedation. We do.
2. Most procedures can be done in one or two visits with sedation dentistry. You will not have to keep coming back and you won’t remember a thing – no drills, no bad tastes, no needles or shots – none of the things that have justified your fears in the past. Our promise.
3. You can enjoy a better smile and be less self-conscious about your looks without being made to feel guilty. If your dentist recognizes that fear is a natural response and very common, there is no reason to belittle you. We never will.

We have many patients who come to us with the same fears and hesitations you are probably feeling. They leave saying things like, “enjoyable experience”, “should have done it years ago”, or “I’ve never had anyone be that kind to me”.

That is what dentistry should be all about; no fear, no pain, no guilt. At our office that is what you get.

Not all dentists can offer the full range of sedation dentistry that Dr. Receveur offers.

It takes special training and certification in the various levels of sedation. This is what sets Dr. Receveur and his staff apart from the many that claim they offer sedation dentistry. While they may be able to give their patients a few aspects – but rarely full sleep sedation – they approach you with a “cookie cutter” solution, giving only what they are able to provide.

Dr. Receveur is trained and certified in all aspects of sedation dentistry. He will discuss your particular situation with you and make sure you receive the level of sedation that is right for you. Questions he will ask are:

Which method do you prefer? Which method is right for you?

Which method is right for you based on your health history?

Which method is right for you based on the procedure that needs to be done?

The Four Ways to Ensure Your Comfort And An Enjoyable Dental Experience

What to Look For In Choosing a Sedation or Sleep Dentist

Most dentists today offer nitrous oxide, some dentists offer oral conscious sedation. Very few dentists offer I.V. Sedation yet many will say they offer sedation dentistry. Don’t be fooled. If you are like millions of others you’ll want the care and comfort of a full range of options. If you use a dentist who claims to offer sedation dentistry but does not offer sleep dentistry they will use what they can and you’ll be the one to suffer. There’s a reason it’s called “Conscious Sedation”!

Remember the old adage: “If the only tool you have is a hammer you treat everything like a nail.” Make sure the dentist you choose has a full range of tools to best help you.

We Have the Complete Solution for Everyone! We Won’t Treat You With a “One Tool For All” Approach and Remember Our Guarantee:

It is Important to Understand the Myths and Facts about Sedation and Sleep Dentistry

Myth: Sedation Dentistry and Sleep Dentistry is the same thing. If a dentist says they are a sedation dentist they offer the option of sleep dentistry.

Fact: WRONG! Sedation Dentistry is not the same as Sleep Dentistry. They require different certifications and the results for you are entirely different.

Sedation Dentistry refers to the overall umbrella of combining your treatment with some sort of sedation. This can include nitrous oxide, oral sedation, I.V. sedation or general anesthesia. But while a dentist may use the term “sedation dentistry” it does not mean he or she is certified in the more narrow discipline of actual sleep dentistry. Sleep dentistry refers to I.V. sedation or general anesthesia.

Why is this distinction important and what makes it confusing? You might hear or see a lot of advertisements such as “wake up to a new smile”, “snooze through your appointment” or “sleep through your dental treatments”. They appear to refer to Sleep Dentistry. They imply you will be asleep during the procedure. Unfortunately many dentists use these terms interchangeably and do not in fact offer true sleep dentistry.

If you are seeking Sleep Dentistry and feel that will give you the most comfortable dental experience, make sure that is what is really being offered. Do your research. Ask if actual IV Sedation or General Anesthesia dentistry will be offered!

Caveat! If you want to be asleep during your procedure make sure true sleep dentistry is being offered!

Myth: Dental fear, anxiety and phobia are all the same and can all be treated the same way.

Fact: WRONG! Dental fear, anxiety and phobia are different, and should be treated differently in the dentist’s office.

The fear that keeps so many people from receiving adequate and necessary dental care comes from a multitude of sources and shows up in a variety of levels. If you are one of the many who do not seek dental care you are probably experiencing one of the following levels under the large label of “fear”:

• Fear: Fear is a normal human condition and is actually a built-in survival mechanism. It is nothing to be ashamed of and your dentist should be able to help you determine the best method for overcoming it.
• Anxiety: Anxiety is very similar to fear but with one important difference – the feeling is based on the anticipation that something bad that could happen. It is not based on a clear known danger like in fear.
• Phobia: A phobia is an intense, unreasonable fear of a thing or a situation. The associated distress and angst usually lead a phobic person to avoid the object or situation they fear.

These three levels determine the appropriate level of sedation dentistry needed.

While one person with fear may not look forward to the dental visit they will not need the level of sedation that a person with a true phobia has. In the second person the level of anxiety may cause them to become physically ill just thinking about the dental chair and so I.V. sedation might be the appropriate solution.

Phobic patients are often caught in a vicious cycle. They typically avoid preventative cleanings and routine dental visits. This leads to decay and even with the most meticulous home care will not provide the care and cleanings an oral hygiene visit can offer. Over time the decay worsens and leads to pain and discomfort, which creates more fear and anxiety. Thus the cycle of fear and avoidance of care continues.

Treating such a patient in a comfortable way requires not only that a dentist and staff understand the phobia, but also that they provide the best plan for the sedation to alleviate the phobia. That sedation method would then be some sort of true sleep dentistry.

Caveat! Using the Wrong Dentist and the Wrong Sedation Method Will Only Heighten the Justification for Your Level of Fear.

Myth: You must overcome your fear, anxiety or phobia before you receive dental treatment.

Fact: WRONG! You do not need to overcome your fear, anxiety or phobia to receive dental treatment; in fact new and proper dental sedation techniques make it possible for the most fearful to enjoy a comfortable dental procedure.

While Dr. Ron is a true advocate of compassionate dentistry and will never be judgmental toward you for staying away from the dentist for so long, the facts are clear: The longer you go without dental care the higher your likelihood of incurring problems such as gum disease, cavities, painful biting, bad breath and eventually being self-conscious about your smile. Over time you also will run the risk of needing a more comprehensive procedure than would have been necessary, leading to increased costs.

Furthermore, it has been proven that your mouth is a window on your overall health. Bacteria in your mouth can create long-lasting infections which may contribute to the development of heart disease, make diabetes harder to control, increase the risk of stroke, pneumonia or respiratory illnesses.

The good news is that this is what sedation dentistry is meant to overcome. You do not need to put off going to the dentist and receiving proper treatment while working on your fears and phobias. Depending on the level of sedation you need you can immediately experience a comfortable procedure; no smells, no taste, no sounds, no sensation, and no memory of the procedure.

Caveat! Putting off Your Dental Visit Can Have Detrimental Health Effects That are Severe. But With Sedation Dentistry There is No Reason to Wait. No Pain, No Fear, No Guilt!

Myth: People with special needs or who are mentally handicapped cannot receive dental treatment. Their disability makes it impossible to cooperate with the dentist.

Fact: WRONG! People who are unable to physically or mentally cooperate with the dentist can – and should! –receive dental care, and sedation dentistry is often the perfect solution.

Put yourself in the place of a person with such a handicap. Many times a person with cerebral palsy, for example, will not be able to remain still long enough for a procedure to take place. A person with autism may not understand why he or she is at the dentist or what needs to be done. It can be a very scary situation for both the patient and the dentist.

There are some people with special needs that can stay conscious during a dental exam and for them perhaps nitrous oxide or oral sedation is an appropriate treatment. But many will need to be asleep for the procedure to alleviate their fears and allow the dentist and staff to do their jobs. It is not an uncommon solution to an ongoing problem, but the dentist needs to understand the special circumstances and offer an appropriate solution such as I.V. sedation

When you are seeking a dentist to treat your loved one with a special need you need an office that offers all of the sedation options. That way you can be sure that the dentist will not try to force a sedation method onto your loved one simply because it is the only option he/she offers

Caveat! Not all Dentists Offer the Full Range of Sedation Techniques That May Be Needed for a Person With Special Needs!
