Dr.
Tyre's Virtually
"Pain Free" Care Center
|
We
know that many patients are apprehensive about receiving dental care.
At Dr. Tyre's Louisville Dream Dentistry, we pride ourselves on our ability
to make each patient as comfortable and relaxed as possible while receiving care.
|
| First,
we listen to your concerns. We then discuss different methods for
making you as comfortable as possible. Together, we lay out a
treatment plan that will meet your needs. We have several options: |
|
| 1. |
Dr. Tyre's
Famous Virtually Painless Injection
Most of our patients never know they have received an
injection. That's because of Dr. Tyre's famous virtually "Painless
Injection" technique. A topical anesthetic is applied to the
tissue with a swab. This anesthetic painlessly numbs the spot where the
doctor will give you one of the most gentle injections.

Local
Anesthetic For Pain Free Care
Injectable anesthetics, such as Lidocaine, prevent pain in
a specific area of your mouth during treatment by blocking the
nerves that sense or transmit pain and numbing mouth tissues.
They
cause the temporary numbness often referred to as a "fat
lip" feeling. Injectable anesthetics may be used in such
procedures as filling cavities, preparing teeth for crowns or
treating gum disease.

| 3. |
Conscious
Sedation
Conscious sedation is a easy way of using a simple
oral medication (often called "the blue pill" to relax you
without the loss of consciousness. The pill is taken an hour prior
to your appointment. You can then relax while a companion drives
you to and from our office.
Upon arrival, you will take a second blue
pill that will allow you to gently sleep through your treatment.
And best of all, most people don't remember any of their treatment!
Additional techniques also available.
