Tooth Fairy There's a story I once heard Of a fairy dressed in gold Who crept in on stars of night Leaving gifts to my delight A simple payment she declared A child's tooth once loose, now shared When I grew up she disappeared With no more loss that's not too weird But now my permanent tooth must go How can I reach her do you know? Fear not my friend she works for us We sympathize with your loss A million dollars we would pay To give you back what's gone away

Is it safe? Will it work for me? These are some of the most commonly asked questions regarding 'Sedation Dentistry'. To help you or your loved ones decide if this is right for you, we 're going to answer these questions for you before you even ask.

There is a choice of sedation medication that can be used. You and your doctor will review many factors like your individual medical history to choose which one is right for you. Most of our patients are administered Triazolam. This medication has been used for many, many years and has now found a home in dentistry. In 1996, it was prescribed over 26,000,000 times. Other medications with similar safety backgrounds may also be used for treatment. The historical safety of these medications gives us great confidence in using them. There is even a medication available to reverse the effects!

Safety of Sedation The reason that we use oral sedation is because of its safety. We use monitoring equipment to monitor your pulse and blood pressure. You'll be done before you know it, completely unaware of the time passing, totally relaxed.

Tried to see the dentist and pay cash. They refused to see me when they were told I had Medicaid, even though Medicaid won't cover the dentist. Refused cash.

I went in for full dental extraction with sedation only (the reason I chose this place) and had a great experience until they tried to upsell a VERY expensive denture package. $4,500 for 2 denture sets. I had other denture plans already set up. I declined, but they continued to insist stating that people wanted to leave with "teeth", then they said I couldn't leave without them because I would starve, then they said state legislature mandated it, then they said that I would have catastrophic bone mass loss in the 3 weeks that I would wait for my gums to heal and get cheaper dentures. After I continued to refuse, they cancelled my extraction appointment. If you want to spend $10,000 on tooth extractions and dentures this is your place!

I ALWAYS feel so safe and cared for at Dr. Vaughan's practice. My insecurities about having dental work done are always thoughtfully considered and respected. I can't imagine going anywhere else! The considerable amount of work that I've needed has been administered with great skill, tender care and compassion. Crystal M., is an outstanding dental hygienist! She is extremely thorough, kind and compassionate and always offers me tips on how to keep my mouth in top shape. I LOVE this practice!

Dr. Vaughan and his entire office staff and dental staff are the bomb! There is nothing any of them would not do to make your dental work as comfortable and pain free as possible! The sedation dentistry is definitely the way to go if you have experienced tramautic dentistry in the past. If you are looking for a practice that puts patient comfort and satisfaction first, you should make an appointment and judge for yourself!
