Laughing gas, as nitrous oxide is commonly called, is a type of sedation absorbed into the body by inhaling the medication through a mask. It allows for complete relaxation during treatment. A local anesthetic is also applied to the area of treatment to eliminate pain in most cases. 
Those suffering from dysphagia, or trouble swallowing, can reduce their risk of chest infection or other serious issues by maintaining good oral health by keeping their mouth clean. Other medical issues include neuromuscular conditions, stroke, dementia, traumatic brain injury, gastroesophageal reflux disease, cancers of the head and neck and certain respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Aspiration pneumonia can also be caused when saliva, food or liquid goes down the trachea into the lungs, instead of the esophagus and into the stomach.
Dry mouth, or xerostomin is the result of decreased saliva production, which affects up to 60% of older adults. Saliva lubricates the mouth helping to prevent decay and protect tooth enamel. But don’t worry; there are plenty of ways to manage this condition.
Our doctors believe the best dentistry for each patient means letting you be part of your own dental decisions. With the intra-oral camera, you can see for yourself the problem areas that need work – as well as which teeth look great. Our high-tech miniature video camera provides a very clear and close-up picture of your upper and lower teeth in real time, on our chairside monitor.
Periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults, with 75% of adults over 35 showing problem signs.What is often referred to as the silent mouth disease, initial symptoms can easily go unnoticed.Bacteria lives in plaque, which hardens over time and can cause gum irritations such as gingivitis.
Although many patients don't fear dental treatment, no one is crazy about having an injection. We are very pleased to bring you the latest development in anesthetic technology with the Midwest Comfort Control™ Syringe (CCS). This slowly administers the anesthesia into the designated area. What does that mean for you? Eliminated sensitivity and discomfort! The injection will be completed without you feeling a thing. Patients often comment how relaxed and comfortable they feel with this improvement in injection technology.
