Sedation & Implant Dentistry, located in Saint Paul, MN, believe that sensitive patients require sensitive care. Surveys have shown that up to 70% of the adult population does not seek regular dental care because of fear or anxiety.
That is why we offer intravenous sedation, if needed, for all dental procedures.
We also firmly believe in Biologically Based Dentistry which is the realization of the impact of toxic materials and how it relates to dental and physiological health. We also provide resources for bio-compatibility testing and alternative materials for sensitive patients.
What is the Oral Systemic Connection? This is the connection of what is going on within your mouth and how it can affect your whole body. Periodontal disease is disease of the gums, tissues and surrounding bone. It has been linked to several systemic conditions such as: heart disease, diabetes, respiratory ailments and pregnancy complications. Evidence also suggests that having periodontal disease could increase your risk for a heart attack. People that already have been diagnosed and/or treated for a systemic disease could also exhibit oral conditions that can lead to dental disease. The link is evident- both oral health and systemic health are critically important.
