In using these various sedation methods, it’s Dr. Leavitt’s goal not only to help you avoid pain and fear during office visits, but to help you avoid the deeper dangers of dental anxiety. The truly scary part of dentistry is what can happen if you fail to maintain your dental health through good hygiene and regular checkups and cleanings. At any given time, you may not have any discomfort and assume that your teeth are in perfect health. You may even experience some minor symptoms that you choose to ignore. Unfortunately, minor dental health issues that go untreated can become major ones over time. You may end up with a far more serious condition than you might’ve had if you’d sought out help earlier, and need to undertake more complex, invasive, and expensive treatment. The best way to avoid all of these is to stay on top of your dental health. Dr. Leavitt has the tools that can help you do that without fear!
