Comfort and Relaxation
The first
step is to make you relaxed and comfortable. From the comfortable
environment in our reception area to the soothing environment
we have created around the dental chairs, no detail is too
small when your comfort is concerned. Our caring, professional
staff are committed to creating a stress-free environment
for your comfort.
Laser
Dentistry
 |
With
the advent of lasers many procedures like the removal
of old white fillings and/or decay, and minor gum treatments
can now be performed comfortably without any local anaesthesia
at all - Truly Amazing! |
Sedation
Some
patients need a little help achieving a relaxed state. Nitrous
Oxide ("laughing gas") is available when needed
to make you more comfortable.
 |
Topical Anaesthetic
A
topical anaesthetic is used any time the surface of
the gum needs to be "numbed", such as easing
the discomfort of a painful mouth sore or preparing
a site for an injectable local anaesthetic.

|
Local Anaesthetic
Modern
fast-acting local anaesthetics, in conjunction with
effective topical anaesthesia, have virtually eliminated
the discomfort of "getting numb". Local
anaesthetics are available in several strengths so
you don't have to experience the "fat lip"
sensation for hours after leaving the dental office.

Post-visit Analgesics
Generally,
if there is any discomfort at all after a dental procedure,
over-the-counter analgesics such as aspirin or non-asprin
pain relievers are all that is needed. In exceptional
circumstances a prescription pain reliever will be used.

Any questions?
If
you have any questions or concerns about anaesthesia, Dr. Garant
will be happy to discuss them with you. We want you to be
as comfortable as possible.
