Dr. Wong's
Virtually "Pain Free" Care Center |
| We
know that many patients are apprehensive about receiving dental care.
At Dr. Wong's San Mateo Center For Cosmetic Dentistry, we pride ourselves on our ability
to make each patient as comfortable and relaxed as possible while receiving care.
|
| First,
we listen to your concerns. We then discuss different methods for
making you as comfortable as possible. Together, we lay out a
treatment plan that will meet your needs. We have several options: |
|
|
1. |
Dr. Wong's
Famous Virtually Painless Injection
Most of our patients never know they have received an
injection. That's because of Dr. Wong's famous virtually "Painless
Injection" technique. A topical anesthetic is applied to the
tissue with a swab. This anesthetic painlessly numbs the spot where the
doctor will give you one of the most gentle injections.

2. |
Local
Anesthetic For Pain Free Care
Injectable anesthetics, such as Lidocaine, prevent pain in
a specific area of your mouth during treatment by blocking the
nerves that sense or transmit pain and numbing mouth tissues.
They
cause the temporary numbness often referred to as a "fat
lip" feeling. Injectable anesthetics may be used in such
procedures as filling cavities, preparing teeth for crowns or
treating gum disease.

3. |
Conscious
Sedation
Conscious sedation is an
easy way of using a simple oral medication (often called "the blue
pill") to relax you without the loss of consciousness. The
pill is taken an hour prior to your appointment. You can then
relax while a companion drives you to and from our office.
Upon arrival, you will
take a second blue pill that will allow you to gently sleep through your
treatment. And best of all, most people don't remember any of
their treatment!

Post
- Treatment Comfort
We want you to be as comfortable as possible after your care.
We often send our patients home with a supply of non-narcotic analgesics
to relieve any post treatment discomfort. These include aspirin, acetaminophen and non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen. For more involved procedures, a
narcotic analgesic may be prescribed for your comfort.
We also give thorough post-operative instructions to make your
after-appointment time easier.
