Scottsdale DA Patients
Pediatric
Does your child have a fear of the dentist? Do they begin to cry whey they sit in the dentist chair? Then sedation may help ease their anxiety and fear of the experience. Studies have shown that negative experiences can cause a lifelong fear of visiting the dentist, and result in the negligence of routine cleanings and examinations to ensure proper dental health is maintained. Sedation in the office will safely diminish any fear and anxiety the child may feel, and help make the dentist a more enjoyable experience for all parties involved.
Adults
The doctors at SDA have experience treating adult patients of all ages
and medical histories, with the utmost care and kindness.
Special Needs
The residency trained doctors at SDA have vast experience treating
children and adults with special needs. We have the ability to facilitate
dental treatments with inhaled anesthetics, providing a mask for
patients to breath into which results in sleep.
