Expert dental anesthesia at Riccobene Goldsboro

At Riccobene Goldsboro, we provide reliable dental anesthesia services so you feel comfortable during your treatment.

What is dental anesthesia?

Dental anesthesia is a medication that our dentists use to reduce pain and discomfort during dental procedures. Whether it is a simple pain-numbing injection or nitrous oxide, the purpose of using anesthesia is to make your consultation as stress-free as possible.

When dental anesthesia may be recommended

Our team may recommend anesthesia for treatments such as fillings, crowns, tooth extractions, root canals, and periodontal care. Dental anesthesia helps reduce the pain and discomfort you may experience during these procedures.

Types of dental treatments for which anesthesia may be used

Anesthesia may be used in both regular and complex dental procedures. Simple local anesthetics may be prescribed for routine procedures such as fillings or cleaning, while nitrous oxide or IV sedation may be recommended for longer procedures such as extractions, root canals, and periodontal care.

What to expect before dental anesthesia

Before we determine whether you need anesthesia, our team reviews your medical history and any medications you are currently taking. This helps us choose the safest sedative option for you. We will walk you through exactly what to expect so you feel comfortable during the procedure.

Comfort and safety during your visit

Your comfort and safety are at the forefront of our practice. Throughout your visit, our team carefully monitors how you are feeling, stays by your side, and maintains open communication so you always know what is happening. If you feel uncomfortable at any time, we are here to help. After your treatment, we provide clear aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

From check-in, to my actual appointment time with my dental hygienist, my experience was amazing! I not only felt heard by my hygienist, but I felt safe and appreciated. She took her time to explain my dental history, as well as the procedure that would take place, while answering all of my questions with patience. She made sure that I was okay, during the procedure, while letting me know that I was okay. I left with gratitude. Thanks so much!
