Is Sedation Right for Me?

Many of my patients have tried different ways to alleviate their fear of going to the dentist with little or no success. They have searched for years, using hypnosis, meditation, and even going to therapy, but never did they think they could go to an office where Fear, Pain, and Anxiety are a thing of the past!
