Are you afraid of the dentist? Have you put off necessary treatments because you want to avoid your discomfort?
Dental phobia is a common phenomenon and it is nothing to be ashamed of. Dr. Marvin Kaplan is experienced in many types of sedation dentistry methods that can help reduce anxiety, including oral and inhalation sedation options.
Sedation dentistry allows patients to reduce anxiety while remaining alert during their dental treatment. For many patients, sedation dentistry allows Dr. Kaplan to complete several procedures in one sitting, reducing their need to return for additional dentist office visits for the same treatment.
