Family Dentist Near Me | Family Dental Care   Family Dental Care vs. Traditional Dental Care  "Although family dental groups have been around for years, they're unique in that they provide a variety of treatments in-house, whereas many practices are built around a specialty. According to the  Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) , the majority of dentists in North America – about 140,000 – practice general dentistry . General dentists can treat your whole family and are considered your primary care dentist. To be sure, general dentists often do have training in many specialized areas, like orthodontics, root canal therapy and even cosmetic dentistry. What makes family dental groups appealing is how they offer more than one specialized dentist in their practice, offering the convenience of a "one-stop" solution for all your family's dental care needs. Whether you need a pediatric dentist, someone who specializes in treating children's teeth ; or an

Scared of the Dentist | Sedation Dentist Near Me   Do you struggle with dental anxiety ? If you, you are not alone:   "Between 5% and 8% of Americans avoid dentists out of fear, estimates Peter Milgrom, DDS, director of the Dental Fears Research Clinic at the University of Washington in Seattle and author of  Treating Fearful Dental Patients . A higher percentage, perhaps 20%, experiences enough anxiety that they will go to the dentist only when absolutely necessary, Milgrom tells WebMD. Milgrom's dental practice specializes in fearful patients. About two-thirds of them relate their fear to a bad experience in the dentist's office, Milgrom says. Another third have other issues for which fear of dentists can be an unpleasant side effect, such as various mood or  anxiety disorders ,  substance abuse , or posttraumatic stress. Fear of dentists stems not so much from the experience of pain as from the lack of control that patients experience in the dentist'

Wisdom Tooth Surgery | What to Expect  During the procedure Your dentist or oral surgeon may use a couple of different sedation dentistry options, depending on the expected complexity of the wisdom tooth extraction and your comfort level. Sedation Dentistry options offered by LADD Dental Group include: Local anesthesia.  Your dentist or oral surgeon administers local anesthesia with one or more injections near the site of each extraction. Before you receive an injection, your dentist or surgeon will likely apply a substance to your gums to numb them. You're awake during the tooth extraction. Although you'll feel some pressure and movement, you shouldn't experience pain.  Nitrous Oxide . In our extraction video below, you will see that the patient is using Nitrous Oxide to help them relax and remain comfortable during the procedure. Sedation anesthesia .  Your dentist or oral surgeon gives you sedation anesthesia through an intravenous (IV) line in your arm.

Impacted Wisdom Teeth | Dental Surgery   " Impacted wisdom teeth   is a disorder where the third molars ( wisdom teeth ) are prevented from erupting into the mouth. This can be caused by a physical barrier, such as other teeth, or when the tooth is angled away from a vertical position. [1]  Completely unerupted wisdom teeth usually  result in no symptoms , although they can sometimes develop  cysts  or  neoplasms . Partially erupted wisdom teeth can develop  cavities  or  pericoronitis . Removal of impacted wisdom teeth is advised in the case of certain pathologies, such as nonrestorable caries or cysts.  Wisdom teeth likely become impacted because of a mismatch between the size of the teeth and the size of the jaw. Impacted wisdom teeth are classified by their  direction of impaction , their depth compared to the biting surface of adjacent teeth and the amount of the  tooth's crown  that extends through  gum tissue  or bone. Impacted wisdom teeth can also be classifi

Wisdom Tooth Extraction | Painless Dental Surgery   I just had my impacted wisdom tooth extracted this past week and I wanted to talk about my overall experience with the procedure and the healing process.   Here is my Facebook Post from the day of the dental procedure : " ❤️ Heartfelt thank you to Dr. David Geiger and Andrea Willis for taking such good care of me today. Not gunna lie I was a little nervous this morning, but in the end, there was absolutely nothing to worry about!"  The day of my wisdom tooth surgery , I was a little nervous. Dr. Geiger recommended that I use Nitrous Oxide to help me relax during the procedure. At LADD Dental Group , we offer multiple forms of sedation dentistry , but I felt like Nitrous was the best sedation dentistry option for me.   During the procedure I didn't feel any pain. There were certain times that I felt pressure and could feel them applying force to get the tooth out, but I never felt pain. Dr. Geiger m
