Dr. Dougherty Makes General Dentistry a Breeze for Delmarva Patients

Your smile is more important that you think! Did you know that a healthy mouth contributes to a better quality of life? It’s true! Problems such as gum disease can raise your risk for conditions like heart attack, stroke, and memory loss. Dental issues can arise and intensify quickly, turning into painful disease and making daily life difficult.

The Importance of Routine Dental Care

Anxiety about dental appointments is actually quite common. At Delmarva Sedation Dentistry, we understand that even routine visits can make some patients feel apprehensive. Don’t let fear stop you from seeking the dental care you need. Issues that start out small can wreak havoc on your teeth and gums if not caught early.

Sedation Dentistry Helps Patients Achieve Oral Health Goals

Even if you have trouble walking through the door of our Ocean City dental practice, Dr. Dougherty can provide you with safe, effective oral or IV sedation, easing you into your visit. Before your appointment, you’ll meet with Dr. Dougherty to discuss what makes you anxious and how serious it is. Depending on your unique needs, Dr. Dougherty will recommend the sedation technique that is best for you.

When you return for your six-month checkup, we’ll administer the sedation and make sure you’re completely comfortable. We then provide you with a thorough examination that includes a tooth-by-tooth inspection, periodontal health assessment, and oral cancer screening. You’ll feel calm and serene while we provide you with the preventive dental care you need.
