If you feel nervous or anxious about visiting the dentist, you're not alone!

How to Overcome Fear of the Dentist
At Highgrove Dental Care, we offer excellent options for anxious patients to ensure they receive their dental treatment comfortably and pain-free. Here are a few of the tools and techniques we use, and what you can expect from your pain-free dentist in St. Paul:
- Topical anesthetic — We use the best topical anesthetic to ensure that the area around your tooth is completely numb so we can comfortably deliver local anesthetic
- Dental vibration devices — Vibration devices distract the nerves, which minimizes pain during the delivery of local anesthetic, making the experience more comfortable
- Local anesthetic — Numbs the tooth so you don't feel a thing as we work during your procedure.
- Dental sedation — We offer several options for sedation dentistry in Highland Park, MN, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation for your relaxation and convenience.
Laser Dentistry for Your Convenience and Comfort
The dental laser is one of the ways we optimize treatment procedures, making them more comfortable for patients. We can use the dental laser for several procedures, including periodontal (gum) disease treatment and gum contouring. The laser eliminates the need for tissue cutting, protects healthy tissues, and accelerates healing by sterilizing the treated area.
