	Anesthesia services are for:
	ANXIETY - According to the American Dental Association surveys, 10% of Americans are so highly anxious or nervous about dental treatment that they avoid the dentist. Another 20% find treatment so uncomfortable that they are unable to follow through with the treatment. In fact, nearly half of the people with dental insurance still avoid dental therapy.
	DIFFICULTY GETTING NUMB - Some people perceive pain differently than others or at a much lower stimulus. Sometimes obtaining adequate tooth numbness to perform painless treatment is impossible. With general anesthesia and sedation this experience can be eliminated.
	EXTENSIVE TREATMENT - For procedures such as implant dentistry or full mouth rehabilitation, and extended procedures such as periodontal surgery, root canal therapy and surgery, anesthesia services provide increased patient comfort.
	GAGGING DIFFICULTY - Sometimes fear of dental procedures stems from one's hyperactive gag reflex when objects are placed within the mouth. Also, fear of choking on or swallowing dental instruments and material evoke a severe gag reflex. Anesthesia will eliminate this reflex and fear of this happening.
