Excellent service! I had terrible anxiety about dentist offices from a poor experience when I was a kid. I ended up not going to the dentist for many years as an adult, resulting in many problems. Ultimately, one day, I had a dental emergency and found Bridgetown Dental, who got me in immediately. I had so much fear about dentist offices that I was tearful during the initial consult. However, Dr. Kaady never shamed me for my worry. He was kind, explained everything about the procedure, and took the time to make me feel like he cared about my teeth and experience. I totally survived the cavity-filling! He asked if I would return (I had a lot more cavities) and start regular cleanings. Five years later, I am still a patient here! Valerie, who cleans my teeth, is wonderful! Everyone here is exceptional, professional, and friendly. I decline to go anywhere else. Bridgetown Dental cured my dentist office anxiety, and I highly recommend them!
Say Goodbye to Dental Anxiety With Our Gentle Care
Many people get nervous when they think about going to the dentist. If you do too, you’re not alone. Surveys show that the majority of people have at least some anxiety about dental visits. Our compassionate dental team will do all we can to help you relax. If you have any questions about your treatment, we’ll take time to answer them and make sure you’re fully informed.
You can also take advantage of our soothing sedation options to get comfortable:
- Inhaled Sedation – You’ll inhale sweet-smelling laughing gas through a small mask. In a few moments, you’ll begin to feel relaxed from head to toe. You may even feel a tingling sensation in your arms and legs or feel a little giddy. The best part is, you’ll feel like yourself immediately again as soon as the gas is removed. You’ll be able to drive yourself home with no problem.
- Oral Conscious Sedation – Dr. Kaady will give you a prescription for a small pill that you’ll take before your appointment. By the time your exam or procedure begins, you’ll be relaxed all over. You will most likely remain awake, although some patients become so relaxed that they doze off. The effects of the pill will last for several hours, so you’ll need a friend or family member to drive you home afterward.
