Part of my wife, Sarah’s family, are farmers. They began farming in Caledonia, Minnesota and grew it into a big dairy operation.
One of her other cousins now lives in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. After having a successful career in medicine and architecture, they decided to open a lavender farm. I guess it was in their blood or something like that.
If you’re anything like me, the first thing I asked was, “What’s a lavender farm?”
They let us know that lavender is a flower that is used in different products for smells and tastes.
After that definition, I responded, “Wait... lavender is a plant?” Then everyone in the room responded in unison, “YES!”
Then I felt reaaaalllly stupid because I didn’t even know it was a plant. I thought lavender was just the name of a color like red or blue.
We went to their lavender farm last weekend. Attached to the farm, they had a little store that had all of these products that had lavender in them. They had candles, soaps, food, coffee, tea, oils, to name a few.
I never knew that lavender could be used in so many ways. I love it when I discover new things and find out they are used in our planet. It’s very cool.
In dentistry, we are always eager to show people something new.
Over the years, we have learned that there are a lot of people who avoid the dentist because of fear. And many of these people do not know that there are different methods to help them have a relaxed dental appointment.
They are unaware that there are different techniques to help manage their DENTAL ANXIETY.
At Dente, we offer different levels of relaxation techniques to achieve an Anxiety Free dental appointment.
Some people may be ok with just using nitrous (laughing gas). Nitrous is a gas to help patients relax during their dental appointment. This is a lighter level of relaxation and helps people get the edge off.
Then we have oral conscious sedation. These are anxiety reducing pills that are used to help the patient relax during their dental appointment and are a higher level of sedation than nitrous. The patient is awake but is in a very relaxed state.
Then the next level is IV sedation. This level of sedation requires an anesthesiologist and is a deeper level of sedation. It's what some people call Twilight.
We decided to offer these different options because so many people have no idea they can have a better dental experience.
