Your Life Is About To Change Thanks To Sedation Dentistry

Q & A With Adam Foleck, D.D.S.

Q: What is dental anxiety?

Dr. Foleck: A large percent of the population suffers from dental anxiety. Some just have "butterflies" while others may be terrified. I understand these fears. My staff and I have the knowledge, training and techniques to treat even the most fearful patient. We see patients everyday just like you.

Q: What is IV sedation? IV sedation is a proven way to help you overcome dental fears, gag reflexes, or a fear of needles. It also benefits anyone who has sensitive teeth, or a limited amount of time to spend at the dentist. I can correct years of painful and embarrassing problems with your smile in as little as one appointment, while you are relaxed and comfortable with little to no memory of the procedure.

Q: Is sedation dentistry right for me?

Dr. Foleck: Do you have and kind of fear or anxiety about dental treatment? Do you have a severe gag reflex? Have you put off going to the dentist because you don't enjoy sitting through the sounds, smells, or injections associated with dental treatment? Do you feel you have "a lot of problems in your mouth" and lack the time to take care of it all? Then IV sedation is right for you.

Q: What's different about your office?

Dr. Foleck: "Everyday, I have patients tell me how my staff touched their lives by not making them feel "different" for having anxieties associated with dental visits or treatment."

Q: What kind of treatment can you get?

Dr. Foleck: We successfully treat patients who need root canals, extractions, implants, and general dentistry procedures, including deep scale cleanings. You don't have to go from dentist to dentist to get your mouth taken care of . Keeping your mouth healthy is very important. Studies have shown that people who have periodontal disease and broken teeth have a higher incidence of heart disease.

Q: What do you hope to achieve with sedation dentistry?

Dr. Foleck: My goal is to break the cycle of a patient going to the dentist every 5 to 30 years, help them overcome their fears, and learn that they don't need to be anxious anymore. I have the solution to what is keeping you away.

Q: How do I get started?

Dr. Foleck: Call my compassionate staff today at 757-965-7696 to schedule your free exam and consultation including all x-rays (A $200 value)
