When it comes specifically to your gums, a periodontist is your go-to dental professional. But if the mere thought of an appointment with a periodontist makes you anxious and worried, consider asking him or her for conscious sedation at your next appointment. It will lessen your fears and make it easier for you to get the quality care you need. 

At the office of Mitchell J. Bloom, DMD, PC, we utilize leading-edge approaches to help each patient feel at ease. We customize treatments to accommodate each individual’s needs.

A dental phobia can make it difficult to keep up with checkups and seek treatment for problems that require immediate attention, both of which can affect your oral and overall health in the long run. If you experience intense and persistent negative emotions when you want or need to see a periodontist, we invite you to call us to discuss sedation options. Our office keeps on top of the latest approaches to patient care, so dental treatments are stress-free. 

We utilize safe and controlled sedation techniques to create a deep state of relaxation and calmness for our patients. As with all forms of conscious sedation, you’ll be able to respond to verbal cues from our team and be aware of the moment-to-moment details of the treatment itself. In this regard, sedation can make a lengthy procedure feel like it’s over in just minutes. 

Before beginning treatment with sedation, we’ll give you and your escort post-care instructions and answer any questions you may have. A positive experience will help eliminate any negative associations you may have about dental treatment.

If you are one of the many patients who have dental anxiety, Mitchell J. Bloom, DMD, PC is committed to earning your trust. Our experienced team is committed to excellence and provides gentle and skilled treatment. To schedule an appointment or for more information, please don’t hesitate to call us today.
