Every year the research connecting poor oral health to decreased overall health grows. This isn’t likely to surprise the British research team who asked people what assumptions they made about people they met who had damaged or cosmetically flawed teeth. The results showed that people with unsightly smiles were considered to be sick, incapable of caring for themselves, of drug addicted. It seems logical for dental researchers to be testing a similar hypothesis: that poor oral health and overall health are connected. At Anderson Family Dental, the dentist Colorado Springs residents prefer, our team is proud to offer patients more than just dental care to prevent damage or restore oral health. We provide patients with education to fully understand their oral health care needs, and become true partners with our practice in making treatment decisions. If you’re interested in finding out more about our dental services, patient education, or the mouth-body connection, call our Colorado Springs dental practice to schedule a consultation today. We look forward to seeing you smile.

Sedation Dentistry in Colorado Springs, CO Puts You at Ease in the Dental Chair
April 22, 2014
For many people, even the mere thought of visiting the dentist – whether it is for a routine exam and cleaning or a more complex treatment – evokes a feeling of dread or fear. This apprehension is typically rooted in some unpleasant childhood memory or even the result of a bad dental experience as an adult. At Anderson Family Dental in Colorado Springs, CO, Dr Erick T. Anderson and Dr. Richard L. Anderson help our patients relax and find peace of mind with modern sedation dentistry.
Oral Conscious Sedation: Proven Safe and Effective
When you experience fear or anxious feelings at the dentist’s office, it can make your treatment considerably more difficult. Your muscles are tense and your breathing may become irregular. With oral conscious sedation, you feel relaxed, calm, and comfortable throughout the duration of your treatment. Though you won’t be asleep, you may find that you remember very little to none of your time in our chair following your procedure.
Oral conscious sedation has been tested for safety and efficacy, so you can rest assured in the knowledge that you are perfectly safe while under the medicine’s effects. You will simply feel drowsy and content while still able to respond to our doctors’ commands and questions. Finally, a solution to the common problem of dental anxiety!
