Dental sedation

Almost 150 million Americans avoid going to the dentist every year because of some level of fear or anxiety. Dr. Brian Klym, a Traverse City, Michigan area dentist, is able to overcome these concerns with his sedation training and capabilities.
Dr. Klym took another big step in expanding his advanced dentistry expertise. In December, he completed his certification in the DOCS oral conscious sedation program, which greatly reduces his patients concerns about discomfort and pain. The DOCS training makes it possible for him to provide anxiety-free dental treatment when needed or requested. Dr. Klym's practice, Northwood Dental, serves people who want to improve their oral health and smile confidence in a relaxed setting without treatment discomfort.
