From Trepidation to Elation

From Trepidation to Elation

I have kids with tooth troubles. Despite being diligent about daily brushing, decay has wrecked havoc on my son’s teeth. From the age of 4 he has experienced cavities and the need for fillings. The only problem with this is that his tolerance for dental situations has been the same as it has been for roller coasters, non-existent.

The first two dentists that we visited had great dental processes, but my son had a complete nervous breakdown when it came to having his fillings done, even when he had been numbed he refused to move forward with the fillings. This meant canceling and rescheduling appointments, and hiring an expensive Nurse Anesthetist to give my son enough quiet time for the dentist to finish the procedure.

We starting going to Dr. Holmberg in the summer of 2013, at the time my son was seven. While he came into the appointment apprehensive, he received his filling happily, and didn’t require any medically induced sleep.

Dr. Holmberg and his staff went above and beyond to provide a comfortable environment for my son. They gave him super star sunglasses to prevent the bright lights from shining in his eyes. He enjoyed listening to his favorite tunes on an iPod touch throughout the quick appointment. His spunky wiggles didn’t bother the staff, after all what seven year old boy can sit still for an hour while jamming out to the beat of his favorite songs?  He walked away with a huge smile!

I asked what he thought about having his teeth worked on at Dr. Holmberg’s office, he said, “He never hurts your teeth. It feels funny when it numbs you.” When asked what advice he would give other young guests he said, “Don’t be afraid, it tickles!”

If you have a child who needs their teeth cleaned, call Elevated Dental. Dr Holmberg will treat your child with kindness and enthusiasm. Teeth will be sparkly clean and ready to meet the day with a smile.

    Spending most of my adult life moving around the country, I have experience with many dentists. Most have been good, but Dr Holmberg is GREAT! His technique for numbing shots is amazing. The solid porcelain crowns fit well and are beautiful, and so quick. I hate the temporary ones. I recommend Dr Holmbery to all my family and friends.
