Rockport Sedation Dentistry: Conquering Dental Fear Made Easier

Some people may find it silly that there are adults who have some

form of dental fear or even phobia in visiting a dentist. The realfigures arent that silly, however. Around 75% of American adults

suffer from some level of dental fear, from mild to severe. Further,

some 10 to 15% of adult Americans have a phobia for dental clinics

thats a whooping figure of 30 to 40 million dental phobic Americans

right there.

To keep things in proper perspective, theres a difference betweenfear and phobia toward going to the dentist. Fear is the feeling of

anxiety or discomfort to have ones teeth checked up likely because of

past bad experience, while phobia is an intense, unreasonable fear

that is grounded mainly on exaggerated imagination. While both cases

can be cured, it is much easier to deal with dental fear than phobia.

Sometimes a person with extreme level of dental phobia has to be

helped by psychiatric professionals. Theres a host of different reasons

why dental fear and phobia come about, but the most common is dueto a horrible history experienced inside a clinic. For many people,

such experience likely spells pain as well.

The highly skilled and compassionate dentists at Mount Pleasant Dental

Care are aware of the prevalent dental fear and phobia. For this

reason, Doctors David Pier and Rebecca Groves have enhanced their

Sedation Dentistry services for the patients in Rockport, Maine andnearby. Sedation dentistry is the use of oral sedatives, either as pills

or liquids, to make you feel relax or even numb during dental

treatments. The ultimate goal is to make your dental experience as

pleasant and comfortable as possible that is, without pain and

excruciating side effects. Rockport Dentists Drs. Pier and Groves will

examine each patients specific health condition and needs to

determine the necessary Rockport Sedation Dentistry to undergo.

What is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry may be the answer for many patients who have

difficulty going to the dentist. Studies show that 30% of the population

avoids the dentist due to fear. Sedation dentistry provides a safe and

comfortable experience allowing you to get the care you need and the

healthy smile you want. With oral sedation, medications can be given

as either pills or liquids to achieve the right level of relaxation for

almost any dental procedure.

Who can benefit from Oral Conscious Sedation?

Patients with anxiety. Whether due to a previous traumatic

experience or a dental phobia, many reasonable, intelligent, and

health-conscious individuals avoid dental care. Oral sedation allows

you to become comfortably relaxed making your dental experience

easier than you ever imagined.

Patients who suffer from acute or chronic jaw soreness. Many patients

find dental appointments uncomfortable due to the pain of keepingtheir mouth open. Sedation medications also have muscle relaxation

properties. By combining the benefits of oral conscious sedation with

frequent resting time, even patients who suffer from chronic jaw

soreness are able to handle long appointments with little or no

discomfort.


3/8

Patients who have a severe gag reflex. The medications used for oral

conscious sedation remove the tendency to gag. Patients who could

not handle having anything in their mouths, find they are able to have

all kinds of dental care without the discomfort or embarrassment of

gagging.

Patients who have difficulty getting numb. With the newer local

anesthetics, it is easier than ever to get even the most difficult

mouths numb. Even so, there are some patients who have difficulty

achieving complete numbness for their dental treatment. The use of

Oral Conscious sedation makes getting numb much easier. This effect

has been reliably observed literally thousands of times by many

sedation dentists.

How does Oral Conscious Sedation work?

The medication type and amount is individually tailored to each

patient. After a complete exam, health assessment, and a discussion

of the level of sedation desired, appropriate oral medications are

prescribed. Typically, a longer acting medication is taken the night

before the appointment allowing for a peaceful sleep, followed by ashorter acting medication one hour before your appointment. When

you arrive at the office, you will be assessed for level of relaxation

and additional medication will be administered to achieve the desired

level of sedation.

Laser Scar Removal: Satisfying Solution to Find in New York City

After experiencing a significant injury on your skin, it can either go

two ways: complete healing or scarring. Both are reminders that your

body has healed itself after a rather unfortunate incident. But it is

more unfortunate indeed if you gain scars instead as a permanent

reminder. You dont really have to make those scars a permanent

reminder, as you can opt to have them treated, diminished, or even


4/8

totally eradicated. One option to remove scars is to make use of

specialized, advanced lasers.

The laser scar treatments to find at Laser & Mohs Surgery in New Yorkare a reminder that technology is bringing wonderful innovations to

medical science. There are different types of laser treatments

intended for specific scars you have. One of the often utilized is a

fractional laser treatment technique known as TotalFX. This latest

treatment modality technique is designed to rejuvenate skin, build

collagen, and significantly reduce scarring. Moreover, TotalFX is a

laser scar removal with minimal downtime but without compromising

safety.

A team of dermatologist and laser care specialists will look closely into

your particular skin and health condition to come up with an ideal scar

treatment. Once eligible for treatment, you will have a professional

yet no-holds-barred discussion with your designated dermatologist (Dr.

Adelle Quintana or Dr. Andreas Boker) and/or with a laser

aesthetician. During the said discussion, you will know detailed inputsregarding the pros and cons of laser removal treatments, including the

extent of scar healing possible for your particular case. At any rate,

the choice is yours whether the projected result is satisfying for you

or not.

Breast Lift Minneapolis


5/8

Breast lifts are important to many women. Often, this will improve the

ability to wear more fashionable clothing, improve body image, and

significantly enhance confidence. The breastlift or mastopexy isfrequently accompanied by placement of breast implants.

Breast Lift Surgery Consultation

At the initial consultation for breastlift surgery, a pertinent medical

and family history will be taken, with particular emphasis on breast

issues. Dr. Vogt and his nursing staff will then meet with you and

explain the surgical procedure in a personalized fashion. All effortswill be made to answer all of the questions you may have regarding

breastlift surgery.

The Breast Lift and Implant

The breastlift may be able to be performed through an incision around

the areola (the pigmented portion around the nipple). This can be

utilized in very small breastlifts. In other instances, Dr. Vogt prefers to

use a form of anchor breastlift in which there is an incision around the

areola, a vertical incision from the areola to the breast crease, and a

scar that may be variable in length in the crease itself. These scars are

very well accepted and very well hidden in most instances after the

initial healing phase.

The patient may have a choice in the utilization of either saline-filled-

or silicone-gel filled implants with the breastlift procedure. Dr. Vogt

prefer to place the implant completely behind the pectoralis muscle so

that there is additional cover to protect the patient from loss of the

implant.


6/8

We prefer to use a round implant with either a moderate- or high-

profile to get a nice projection of the lifted breast. The style of

implant depends on multiple factors that will be determined at thetime of the consultation and physical examination.

The breastlift surgical procedure requires approximately five hours of

preoperative planning, operating time, and recovery. During the

preoperative phase, the patient will meet with their surgeon and a

nurse to ensure that all questions are answered before proceeding

with the surgery. The patient will also have the opportunity to re-size

with implants and confirm her selection if implants are to be used.

The board-certified medical doctor anesthesiologist (MDA) at Wayzata

Plastic Surgery will then meet with the patient and discuss the type of

anesthetic that will be utilized to provide the greatest degree of

comfort and safety. After the breast lift surgery, the patient is

transferred to the Recovery Room in the care of a registered nurse

who has Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) training.

The Day of Breastlift Surgery

The breastlift surgical procedure requires approximately five hours of

preoperative planning, operating time, and recovery. During the

preoperative phase, the patient will meet with their surgeon and a

nurse to ensure that all questions are answered before proceedingwith the surgery. The patient will also have the opportunity to re-size

with implants and confirm her selection if implants are to be used.


7/8

The board-certified medical doctor anesthesiologists (MDAs) at the

Plastic Surgery Center will then meet with the patient and discuss the

type of anesthetic that will be utilized to provide the greatest degree

of comfort and safety. After the breast enlargement surgery, the

patient is transferred to the Recovery Room in the care of a registerednurse who has Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) training.

The Postoperative Period Following Breastlift Surgery

A responsible adult must be available to transport the patient

following surgery and also be available for the first 24 hours to assist

the patient getting up to the bathroom, taking medications, and eating

and drinking. A detailed set of instructions will accompany the patient

and the Recovery Room nursing staff will review all of these

instructions carefully. A nurse from WPS will call the patient the

evening of the surgery to check her status and answer questions. If

any questions or concerns arise outside of our normal business hours,

our answering service will be able to contact Dr. Vogt for you.

You will need to return to the office for recheck appointment within

the first 24 hours after your procedure to be sure that there is no loss

of blood supply to the nipple and areolar complex, and that there is no

buildup of blood behind the breast. Also, if drains have been utilized

at the time of the surgical procedure, these may be removed at that

visit. The next visit will be approximately 5-7 days after the surgery.

You will not be allowed to wear a bra for at least one week following

the surgery to prevent any pressure on the blood vessels providing

nutrients to the breast.
