Dentistry Concerns

Addressing Your Dentistry Concerns in Sacramento

It’s completely understandable to have dentistry concerns. Maybe you’re feeling a little nervous about visiting the dentist, wondering about safety protocols, or have questions about specific issues like tooth pain or needing a new dentist for your family. At Adams Dental Associates, your trusted Sacramento dentist, we believe that a great dental experience starts with open communication and addressing these concerns head-on. 

We provide old-fashioned care in a fun and loving environment, treating our patients like family. Our goal is to help you feel relaxed, informed, and confident about your oral health journey. When you have dentistry concerns in Sacramento, you can turn to our experienced team led by Dr. Kosta Adams and Dr. Kristen Adams.

Feeling Anxious? Sedation Dentistry Can Help

One of the most common dentistry concerns we hear is anxiety about dental procedures. We understand that fear can sometimes prevent patients from getting the essential care they need. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry options designed to help you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout your appointment.

• Nitrous Oxide: Also known as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is a wonderful option for patients of all ages. This non-allergenic gas is inhale, and it affects the central nervous system. It is completely safe and has little, if any, side effects. Patients who breathe in the nitrous oxide may feel the effects within just a few minutes, and after treatment is completed, patients breathe in oxygen to reverse the sedation. Patients who have nitrous oxide can drive themselves back home or to work immediately after their visit.
• Oral Conscious Sedation: Patients who want a stronger sedative may require oral conscious sedation. For this method of sedation, patients will take a prescribed medication before their appointment and arrange transportation to and from their home. Patients arrive relaxed but conscious, and are taken home to rest after their treatment. Once they awaken from a nap, they will feel refreshed and will recall very little of their dental appointment, but will enjoy a healthy, beautiful smile!

Our Commitment to Your Health and Safety

Beyond comfort, another significant area of dentistry concerns for patients relates to health and safety, especially regarding infection control. Your well-being is our top priority, and we treat our patients like family, taking every effort to ensure your safety during every visit.

We adhere to strict health and safety standards to protect you from the spread of infectious diseases. This includes using the latest sterilization and disinfection methods. Here are some of the specific methods we use to prevent the spread of health conditions in our office:

• We use the latest sterilization and disinfection methods on all handpieces and instruments used in the mouth.
• We wear disposable gloves and masks.
• Protective eyewear and/or face shields are used.
• We use germicidal soaps before each patient.
• Cleaning and disinfection of chairs, countertops, and all surfaces in treatment rooms is carried out between patients.
• We use disposable products when necessary to reduce cross-contamination.
• We follow all federal government guidelines and state/local regulatory standards for handling all disposable materials.

We believe transparency about our rigorous safety protocols is key to alleviating dentistry concerns in Sacramento related to hygiene and infection. If you have questions regarding the infection control measures used in our practice, please do not hesitate to ask our dentists or staff members to explain the procedures done to ensure the protection of your health.
