I am the type of person who hates dentists but also has a job that consumes lots of time. This combination means I have not taken care of my teeth well enough and in some cases I have put off needed work for decades.\r
\r
I was having problems with both wisdom teeth pain, an old crown, and a cavity. After an exam, Dr. Durkin discussed using Sedation Dentistry. She said I could get all the work done in one sitting. With my schedule, this sounded like a good plan so I booked the appointment.\r

Yesterday I had 3 wisdom teeth pulled, two crowns, several other fillings and a deep cleaning. In the past this would have taken many appointments and pain spread out over weeks if not months. Given the amount of work done, I am shocked at how little pain I am feeling today. I am not perfect, but am planning on going back to work tomorrow.\r

I would recommend both Dr Durkin and the Conscious Sedation process highly especially for people like me with irrational fear of dentists.
