Managing Dental Fear

We encourage all patients to visit our Woodbridge dental office every six months for a preventive care exam. Dr. Cavallo will perform a thorough examination of the teeth, mouth, and gums to search for any signs of dysfunction. With the results of the comprehensive exam, Dr. Cavallo will create a treatment plan that works best for you. Patients can feel free to ask any questions they may have regarding their treatment. Dr. Cavallo will work with you to manage your dental fear. One of the most effective ways to manage dental fear and anxiety is sedation dentistry. Sedation dentistry is a great way to help patients feel relaxed and comfortable during their treatment. We offer two types of sedation in our Woodbridge dental office: Oral Sedation Dentistry and Nitrous Oxide Sedation.

Oral Sedation: Oral sedation is administered through a pill. The pill is taken prior to your treatment. During oral sedation, patients will remain awake and completely relaxed throughout the treatment. Most patients report having little to no memory of their procedure. 

Nitrous Oxide: Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is administered through a special nasal mask. Nitrous oxide helps patients feel relaxed and comfortable during their procedure. The effects of nitrous oxide only occur when wearing the mask. Once the mask is removed, the effects of nitrous oxide diminish.
