Rene Piedra and Associates DMD 4649 Ponce De Leon Blvd Suite 300-301 Coral Gables, Florida 33146 305 661-1812			We know that many patients are apprehensive about receiving dental care.  At Dr. Piedra's Rene Piedra and Associates DMD, we pride ourselves on our ability to make each patient as comfortable and relaxed as possible while receiving care.  First, we listen to your concerns.  We then discuss different methods for making you as comfortable as possible.  Together, we lay out a treatment plan that will meet your needs.  We have several options: 1. Dr. Piedra's Special Sedation Dental Care Program Many of Dr. Piedra's patients prefer to relax through their dental care.  Rene Piedra and Associates DMD offers a special Sedation Care Program where qualified patients can take a small pill and relax.  If this sounds right for you, just click here for more information.   2. Dr. Piedra's Famous Injection Many of our patients never know they have received an injection.  That's because a topical anesthetic is applied to the tissue with a swab. This anesthetic numbs the spot where the doctor will give you one of the most gentle injections.   3. Local Anesthetic Care Injectable anesthetics, such as Lidocaine, reduce pain in a specific area of your mouth during treatment by blocking the nerves that sense or transmit pain and numbing mouth tissues. They cause the temporary numbness often referred to as a "fat lip" feeling. Injectable anesthetics may be used in such procedures as filling cavities, preparing teeth for crowns or treating gum disease.   4. Post - Treatment Comfort We want you to be as comfortable as possible after your care.  We often send our patients home with a supply of non-narcotic analgesics to relieve any post treatment discomfort.  These  include aspirin, acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen. For more involved procedures, a narcotic analgesic may be prescribed for your comfort.
