More Than a Quarter of Americans Have This Untreated Disease

Let's just say, it might be time to get your pearly whites checked.

It's time for Americans to get over their fear of the dentist. According to new data published from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics, more than 25% of U.S. adults aged 20 to 64 have untreated tooth decay. Additionally, 1 in 5 adults aged 65 and older may have it as well.

And if that's not motivation enough to take a seat in the dental chair, 91% have one tooth (or more) that has been treated for tooth decay or needs to be.

Dental Anesthesia

A Virtually Pain-Free Numbing Experience

Let us introduce single-tooth anesthesia or the STA System™. The STA System uses the Wand™, a computer controlled anesthesia delivery system that provides immediate, pain free dental anesthesia for all injection types. This allows us to numb a specific area. If we need to numb one tooth, for example, we can. In only one or two minutes. It has revolutionized dental anesthesia by taking away the pain, anxiety, and stress associated with conventional syringes. For those who have fear of needles, this delivery system has been proven to be pain free in administration and throughout the treatment.

Dental Root Canals

Saving Teeth

In the past, if your tooth's roots were damaged or infected, the tooth had to be pulled. Now, we can often save the tooth without pulling it by performing a root canal. Dr. Holness's training in root canal procedures makes treatment easier for you. And it is more effective. In a root canal, the dentist fixes your tooth by removing the inside of the affected tooth and injecting a special filling, which is then packed in place.
