English. “When a patient is suffering with pain or is feeling
anxious, being able to converse in their native language helps
to establish rapport and immediately improves their level
of comfort.”
The doctors at Essential Endodontics recognize that dental
anxiety is a common problem and offer several different levels
of sedation for patients. They collaborate with dental
anesthesiologists to allow the patient to receive sedation and
sleep comfortably through endodontic treatment if desired.
Dr. Yelton notes, “We understand that many patients have
anxiety or even fear about just seeing the dentist, much less at
having a root canal performed. As a result, patients often delay
seeking care because they don’t believe they will be able to
tolerate dental treatment.
“We feel sedation is an important service to provide for our
fearful patients and the entire staff is very well prepared to
accommodate patients with dental anxiety. Sedation also allows
us to serve our young pediatric patients and helps ensure they
have positive dental experiences.”

to make referrals easy and convenient for their office by paying
