Anxiety-free Dentistry

What is it?
Our doctors are specially trained to administer medications to totally relax fearful patients. Dosage and type can be customized to the patients' anxiety level and medical history.

We offer three types: Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas), Oral Sedation (in pill form), and IV sedation

Who is it for?

  • Fearful Patients - it is not uncommon to be anxious about going to the dentist. In fact, statistics show that over 30% of the population avoids going to the dentist because of fear. With Anxiety-free dentistry, fear no longer has to be an obstacle to achieving complete oral health

  • Patients with extensive dental needs - many patients have a mouthful of aging crowns, bridges, & fillings in need of replacement. Anxiety-free dentistry allows the doctors to correct years of dental problems, often in as little as 1 to 2 visits.

  • Patients with a gag reflex 

  • Patients with acute or chronic jaw soreness

  • Patients with physical limitations such as back or neck problems

  • Special needs patients

  • Older patients suffering from dementia

Is it safe?
At Drs. White & White, our doctors are specially trained and certified in conscious sedation and perform over 380 successful sedation procedures every year. According to the Dental Organization of Conscious Sedation, there has never been a documented report of a serious adverse incident due to the use of oral sedation in adults.

"Dr. White and Anxiety-free Dentistry have certainly made my dental visits in the past year much more pleasant and less fearful. I recommend to friends and family that if they have any fears about going to the dentist, give Dr. White and Anxiety-free Dentistry a try." D.Thomas 2006
