Request An Appointment
Visiting your dentist in the Lehigh Valley can be an uncomfortable experience for those with dental-related fears and phobias. This involves more than just sweaty palms or feeling fidgety. Some have such extreme anxiety that it actually prevents them from scheduling appointments until it is absolutely necessary, which can significantly compromise their oral health. If this level of discomfort sounds familiar, you likely avoid your dentist at all costs. However, with sedation dentistry you have nothing to fear. Now, you can enjoy a comfortable and pain-free appointment.

In addition to your teeth, your gums play a vital role in your oral health, as well as your overall health. The soft tissue surrounds the teeth to create a seal, which is tightly bound to underlying bone to help reduce the friction of food passing over them. When your gum health becomes compromised, it can lead to serious complications, such as tooth loss. However, it can also negatively impact your overall health, leading to cardiovascular disease and respiratory infections. Next to your oral hygiene habits and care from your dentist in Lehigh Valley, the foods you eat are equally as important to promoting the health of the tissue.
