"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.

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.
