My name is Dorenna and a year ago, I chose to have sedation dentistry. I heard about sedation dentistry on our local radio station. My dentist. R.D. Hammel, was the one speaking about this type of dentistry that they offered their patients.
I called and set up an appointment up to find out more about this sedation dentistry.
I had developed a fear of going to the dentist at an early age. I’d had painful experiences in the dentist chair and would wait as long as possible before going to a dentist. Three months prior to having sedation dentistry, while I was living in another state, I’d ended up in the emergency room due to my pain from my teeth. I was unable to eat on one side of my mouth due to the pain I was experiencing.
I had always been a "baby" about going to the dentist but after hearing about sedation dentistry, I decided to go ahead with it. As someone who is allergic to latex, I was also very concerned that all the products used the day of my appointment would be latex free. During my consultation, Dr. Hammel’s staff assured me that no latex would be used so I wouldn’t be concerned with an allergic reaction.
Nancy Hammel, who works at Clay Center Family Dentistry and who is also my dentist’s wife, had already experienced sedation dentistry. Nancy explained to me in detail about what would take place. I was still a little nervous and Nancy offered to pick me up the morning of my appointment. I was sleepy from the pill that I was instructed to take that morning. As I was told, I wore comfortable clothing and they wrapped me in my favorite blanket I had brought with me. I don’t remember any pain whatsoever. It was actually a pleasant experience.
My appointment lasted approximately four hours as I had quite a bit of work to be done. I wanted to get it all done in one appointment. Also, I am hypoglycemic and because of fasting from midnight on, the CCFD staff made sure I had the right kind of juice and soft food. They woke me up to feed me which I barely remember.
I know that Dr. Hammel and Nancy as well as the entire staff at Clay Center Family Dentistry treated me wonderful and I would recommend sedation dentistry to anyone. They all made me feel so comfortable and Dr. Hammel called me later that evening to check on my progress. I slept most of the day away.
In my opinion, sedation dentistry is the only way to go. To have a dentist understand my fears and put those fears to rest, was a milestone in my life.
I keep up with my routine check ups and my teeth are doing great.
Thanks again to my dentist, R.D. Hammel and his wife, Nancy, and the staff at Clay Center Family Dentistry.
Dorenna
P.S. You know I just had to tell you my son thinks Dr. Hammel’s the best dentist ever and to me that is priceless as children having good experiences at the dentist without fear. |
