Good dental care is all about tooth brushing and occasional dental x-rays….isn’t it? Actually there are many sides to good dental hygiene practices. Part of it is what you do at home: the brushing and flossing, plus good habits like limiting sugary drinks and not crunching on ice. Another side of good dental care is what happens during dental office visits. And when anxiety or fear of discomfort is keeping you from seeing your dentist, proper dental sedation services can make a difference.
