For some people, getting even routine dental care safely, comfortably and without undue anxiety can be very complicated. As a result, they may go for months with a problem that needs treatment, or even years without seeing a dentist at all. You may know someone like this; it may even be you or a member of your family. People with certain medical, behavioral, psychiatric or age-related conditions, or those who have great fear may simply not be able to have their oral health tended to in the usual way. That’s where we come in. Dr. Arthur Thurm is both a dentist as well as a licensed dental anesthesiologist.
