Sedation Dentistry
Imagine not being afraid to go to the dentist, and being able to accomplish all of your dental care in one appointment. That is what sedation dentistry can do for you, and Dr. Hirschfield is one of the most dedicated, accomplished dentists in sedation dentistry. He has taken many courses in conscious sedation, so you can rest assured of his expertise.
We understand some people are afraid of going to the dentist. Whether it was a bad experience as a child or some other issue, the fear makes it difficult to maintain a healthy smile. The problem is oral health can deteriorate to a critical stage, and that is why we are so concerned. At Lakeview Dental, we feel dealing with our patients' concerns is just as important as attending to their oral health. Therefore we offer sedation dentistry.
If you've been putting off years of dentistry because of your fears, sedation dentistry may be for you. How does it work? Dr. Hirschfield will give you a pill to swallow at home, which will have an effect in less than hour. A trusted companion will drive you to our office where you will be treated with great care. After the visit, you will find you won't remember very much, and your nice smile is now a dazzling one. Then a responsible adult will take you home and care for you for the next few hours. In the evening, Dr. Hirschfield will call you to make sure everything is all right.
Dr. Hirschfield belongs to the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation, a group dedicated to the safe and effective management of sedation dentistry. Please visit www.sedationcare.com, or please call for an audio CD or tape for more information.
