"What is an orthodontist?" |
|
An orthodontist
is a dentist who has undergone specialized training to diagnose,
prevent, and treat dental and facial irregularities in patients.
Within the U.S., orthodontists are required to complete a two- to three-year advanced residency program in orthodontics following the completion of their four-year graduate dental program. Each of these programs must be accredited by the American Dental Association's Commission on Dental Accreditation. For more information about how we at Robert M Christ DMD can help you with dental braces, call us at 727 934-1200, we will be happy to talk with you. |

*Minimal
sedation, also known as anxiolysis, is the use of oral and
inhalation medications to relieve anxiety before and during dental
procedures
that minimally reduce consciousness in an effort to reduce fear and
anxiety, while still maintaining normal breathing and the ability to
respond appropriately to physical and verbal stimulation.
