I was referred to Dr. Johnson from a friend. My 8 year old daughter is very reluctant to go to the dentist and I couldn't be more pleased with the whole experience. That night, I was surprised to get a call from Dr. Johnson asking how my daughter was doing. I have never had a doctor do that! It was wonderful and I knew then, that we had found our new family dentist.

My 17 year old son had his wisdom teeth taken out with sedation by Dr. Johnson. I was prepared for an awful experience based on what all of my friends had told me about their children's wisdom teeth removal. However, ours experience was wonderful. My son had hardly any memory of the visit, very little swelling and he claimed the pain was never very bad. I have since recommended Dr. Johnson to many parents looking for a doctor to remove their children's wisdom teeth.

I am a 71 year old woman who has gone to many dentists. While visiting my daughter, I had some tooth pain, so she took me to Dr. Johnson. After doing an exam and discovering I needed a root canal, he told me could fix some etching I had on my front teeth and make my smile look better. Within a few minutes, my front teeth looked beautiful! I had been to many dentists before and none of them had mentioned that they could fix my front teeth. He also made bleaching trays so my teeth could match some old crowns I had. Now, all of my teeth are the same color. I now love my smile.

You may benefit from Conscious Sedation if you have a lot of stress, fear and anxiety about going to the dentist. If you need or require a lot of dental treatment, you should consider the use of Conscious Sedation. Conscious Sedation is sometimes called "Sedation Dentistry" or "Relaxation Dentistry". Conscious Sedation will allow most people to overcome the stress fear and anxiety associated with Dental Treatment, because they can relax during their dental visit. Previous bad dental experiences cause fear and anxiety about Dentists and Dentistry. If these feelings are preventing you from getting the dentistry that you need Conscious Sedation can help you.

Conscious Sedation is safe and effective.
Many people have a fear of needles, had difficulty getting numb, or have a bad gag reflex, all these people can be helped through conscious sedation. These are a few of the problems that people encounter which will prevent them from seeking the Dentistry that they need. When someone is sedated and relaxed it is possible to complete a large amount of complex dental treatment during a single visit to the dentist. People often have little or no memory of their dental visit. If you exhibit any of the following characteristics, "Sedation Dentistry" may help you:

People who desire a beautiful and natural smile and have fear and anxiety associated with dentistry
Fear of needles
You are hard to get numb
Dental Phobia

Difficulty controlling movement from conditions such as Cerebral Palsy or Parkinson's disease

Patients who are on other medications should consult with their medical doctor before taking sedatives. Previous allergic reactions to other drugs should also be reported to the sedation dentist.
