Sedation Dentistry - East Brunswick, New Jersey

Sedation Dentistry for the Fearful

Dental fear is often caused by bad past dental experiences, severe gag reflexes, fear of needles or the painful sound of the dental drill. Someone with a dental phobia will avoid dental care at all costs until either a physical problem or the psychological burden of the phobia becomes overwhelming. When you finally gather the inner courage to make a call to a dentist, you must be greeted by dental professionals who understand the very real nature of your fears. Our team supports your unique needs as a phobic patient from the moment you make the first call. We listen to your story and appreciate the magnitude of your fear. We then discuss the easiest and safest way to bring you the comfort and care you need. We design a treatment plan in which all treatment (in most cases) can be completed in one comprehensive visit using optimal sedation options, including dental nitrous oxide or laughing gas.

Sedation Dentistry for the Disabled

Regular dental care is especially important to avoid the serious dental problems that often are associated with disabilities. Patients with severe disabilities often need care above and beyond that provided by the local dentist who may be untrained in anesthesia for special needs patients. Treating patients with physical and developmental disabilities requires an extremely high level of skill, expertise, and state-of-the-art equipment. Genuine compassion for the individual is another hallmark of our care.

Sedation Dentistry for the Elderly

Dr. Grizzaffi is committed to helping the elderly maintain a healthy dentition. Education - coupled with preventive dental care - keeps seniors from suffering with gum disease, bone loss and tooth loss. He treats aging adults with the same consideration as all of his patients. To remain active and engaged in full lives, older persons need strong teeth and gums - to support speech, the enjoyment of food and good conversation. Strong teeth facilitate digestion and deliver essential nutrients to the fragile systems of the older adult.
