A WONDERFUL TIME TO BE A DENTAL PATIENT | Pediatric and Laser Dentistry

The dental industry is adopting technologies like Solea to drastically improve our patients’ experience. Here’s why we added one to our office: It’s a wonderful time to be a dental patient. Technology continues to make prioritizing your oral health easier and more pleasant. Imagine 150 years ago, when anesthetics had just made their debut. A dentist named William T.G. Morton used his unique “Letheon” mixture during a surgical procedure at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and the rest, as they say, is history.

Although anesthetics have long been assumed a part of dental procedures, companies like our partners at Convergent Dental saw room for improvement. Instead of subjecting patients to needles and discomfort, they created Solea. Solea allows us to perform 95 percent of dental procedures completely anesthesia-free. The result: no numbing or wasted time. You’ll be in and out of the chair faster than ever before.

Xanax (Alprazolam) is classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance, with significant restrictions due to its potential for dependency and withdrawal symptoms. Patients are advised to use it only under the guidance of a healthcare provider, at the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration possible. Methylphenidate (Ritalin) is a Schedule II drug, indicating a high potential for abuse and strict regulations on its prescription. It is important to adhere closely to the prescribed dosage and schedule to avoid misuse. Valium (Diazepam) is also a controlled substance under Schedule IV, with restrictions in place to minimize the risks of dependence and withdrawal. Patients should use it only as directed by their healthcare provider, avoiding abrupt discontinuation. Zolpidem (Ambien) is restricted for short-term use in treating insomnia, with recommendations to follow the dosing instructions carefully to avoid complex sleep behaviors and dependency.
