Dental Factoid

The succulent strawberry (still available today) was considered to be a "natural" solution for preventing tartar and giving fresh breath. In 1855, the Farmers Almanac included this recipe for appropriate toothpaste: 1 oz. myrrh (fine powder) 2 spoonfuls of your best honey, a pinch of green sage. Mix together and use every night on wet teeth.

Sedation Dentistry: High-Fear Dental Patients No Longer Need to Be Afraid

Ninety million people in the U.S. don’t see a dentist because of fear.

One million other people have conquered that same fear with a safe and effective treatment called oral sedation dentistry. It’s not just a trend. It’s a new level of dental care.

Oral sedation dentistry has drawn the attention of The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and it has even been featured on Good Morning America.

Dr. Lyons (Permit # 128) and Dr. McDonough (Permit # 132) have completed a comprehensive and rigorous training program in oral sedation dentistry. They are two of the few local dentists that offer this valuable and highly effective treatment. They are proud to offer the service and say, “We are honored to have the opportunity to help people in our community with this beneficial treatment. Patients no longer have to be afraid of the dentist.” We know it is difficult for fearful patients, so make this first step and call us.

After an initial visit with us where all your questions and concerns will be answered, we’ll schedule your sedation appointment(s). You’ll find your treatment is performed more comfortably than you might ever have thought possible. You’ll be drowsy, and unaware of the time passing by. Our specially trained team will monitor you continually throughout the appointment. The big plus? We can accomplish extensive amounts of dentistry at one time, and you’ll have little or no memory of the experience.

For anxious patients, the new treatment is a miracle. Your dental health is important and need not be neglected because you are nervous. Oral sedation dentistry is as simple as taking a pill.

Welcome a new, beautiful smile! This invitation is open to you, your friends and family. Please call today if you have any questions or are ready to begin.
