We have local anesthetic available for extractions and root canal therapy. This is administered in the form of an injection, and it produces a numbing effect. This can make it easier for you to undergo treatments.
Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is a very popular method to ease dental patients. Its been around for quite some time, too! Nitrous oxide was first used for dentistry in the mid-1800s, but has come a long way since then. Now, its practically a standard asset for any dental practice. When inhaled, nitrous oxide creates a light, almost euphoric sensation for patients. This feeling can relieve anxiety, allowing the Peery & Woolwine Family Dentistry team to provide the necessary care. The effects of nitrous oxide generally fade away quickly after the gas is shut off, too. Normally, patients are even able to drive themselves home!
Our friendly team is here to make you feel comfortable and at home at our Lynchburg dental practice. We have a skilled group of dental hygienists, assistants, and office coordinators who use their knowledge to help our patients as effectively as we can. We look forward to getting to know you a little better each time you step into Peery & Woolwine Family Dentistry to receive your care.
