Hate needles?  Pain?  The numb feeling after treatment?  The scrape of sharp objects against your teeth when having them cleaned?  Even the smell of a dental office?  Guess what?  Dentistry is changing so much so fast that the dental visits we remember from our childhood are long gone, or at least they should be.  New technology makes visits much more pleasant.  When patients come in for their cleanings, we use micro ultrasonic equipment so the plaque is blasted off with a thin, high powered jet of water – no more scraping.   Digital x-rays lessen the amount of radiation patients get, and patients can view them right away.  Shots are given using computerized technlogy which makes them nothing like ones from the past.  New materials are designed to be pleasant to use – no more bad smells!  Visit a dentist – take care of yourself and you will be pleasantly surprised if you haven’t been in a while.
