Dan Mannikko, DDS | Reno/Tahoe’s Neuromuscular, TMJ, and Cosmetic Dentist.
Many patients avoid seeing the dentist for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately, failing to visit the dentist can lead to serious dental problems, and the need for even more invasive and costly dental procedures. Many of our patients consider oral-conscious sedation dentistry because they:
- Require long dental procedures.
- Have had bad past experiences.
- Have difficulty getting numb.
- Have several procedures that must be performed.
- Have sensitive teeth.
- Have a bad gag reflex.
If you have any of these anxieties, Dr. Mannikko can help through sedation dentistry. As a member of the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation (D.O.C.S.), Dr. Mannikko guarantees the least amount of anxiety, fear, or pain possible during any procedure he performs.
Unlike other forms of sedation dentistry, oral-conscious sedation dentistry allows you to stay awake during your procedure. Dr. Mannikko prescribes a sedative you will take an hour before the procedure that will keep you awake yet completely relaxed.
