Why does Dr. Gonzo use tooth-colored fillings?
The material used in these fillings bonds or attaches better to the teeth. It also includes fluoride which helps prevent further decay. More of the natural tooth structure is kept. They also have a more natural appearance. Overall, they are much better for both baby and permanent teeth. Does laughing gas really make my child laugh? That usually depends on the child! It definitely relaxes the patient, lowers their anxiety, and reduces the ability to feel pain. Children with sick teeth in need of repair wear the elephant nose. This is how they inhale the laughing gas (nitrous oxide). Once the appointment is over, the elephant nose is removed. The child expels the laughing gas from their system within a few minutes just by breathing naturally. Does Dr. Gonzo do sleep dentistry? If the time comes for sick teeth to be restored or removed, Dr. Gonzo will discuss this with you personally. Patient cooperation, comfort, and safety for the patients and our staff are so important to us. Dr. Gonzo
