We know that many patients are apprehensive about receiving dental
care. At Dr. Wright's, 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. Wright's Famous Virtually Painless Injection
Most of our patients never know they have received an injection.
That's because of Dr. Wright'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. 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.
