Peru Dentist | Pediatric Dentistry | Ladd Dental Group of Bunker Hill

Dr. Newman, along with his team at Ladd Dental Group of Bunker Hill, are vastly experienced in pediatric dentistry and sedation dentistry! Here Dr. Newman is shown conduction an oral exam on one of our awesome patients! There are many positives and a few draw backs to sedation dentistry, and Dr. Newman along with his staff would be happy to help walk you through that delicate decision.

Sedation Dentistry has evolved drastically as a science since its first inception! Sedation Dentistry is now primarily induced by providing the patient with an oral narcotic. Sedation Dentistry works very well on a majority of patients, but there is a certain small minority of patients that do not get as much relief from the sedative. There are a lot of questions patients should ask before moving forward with sedation dentistry. Sedation Dentistry certainly has its place in the dental field, and has been used with good clinical success, but nonetheless, patients should be fully aware of the pros and cons associated with sedation before accepting treatment!

Dental Work | Importance of Routine Dental Care | Preventative Dental Care

Importance of Routine Dental Care  When I was in my 30s and a dentist told me I needed a few crowns , I decided to skip the expensive devices because of my meager paycheck. Besides, my teeth weren't hurting. Years later, I am paying the price in pain and costlier dental work .

Overall, emergency room dental visits cost $1.9 billion yearly, 40 percent of which is public money, according to his institute's analysis of data from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quali...
