YOUR DENTIST GOES GREEN
EARTH DAY 2010
Being green is not just for “tree huggers and vegans.” To celebrate the 40th annual Earth Day some dentists are riding “clean green machines.” At Dr. Larson’s dental office in Campbell California we are committed to helping you, the community, and the planet.
We’ve designed a dental practice that reflects our commitment to the well-being of our patients, staff and the environment. Through rigorous planning, careful construction and implementation, we’ve created a high-performance green facility that is a healthy, productive place to work; less costly to operate & maintain; and reduces our environmental footprint. Designed to safeguard the health of occupants and visitors, our office includes measures that are beneficial to you, our patients, our staff and community.

As an alternative to the standard dental drill, air abrasion, or “micro-abrasion,” removes decayed tooth structure. Analogous to the sandblasting which cleans graffiti from walls,

air abrasion propels a stream of fine aluminum oxide particles onto the tooth to strip its surface of decay.

Dental Fear
Too frequently, a visit to the dentist is looked on with fear, dread and foreboding. The anxiety or fear of the dentist can be the result of a childhood experience, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress syndrome, or a fear of needles. Dental phobia affects countless individuals.
Sedation Dentistry
For patients frightened at the prospect of dental treatment, sedation presents an ideal remedy. Inducing an altered state of consciousness to minimize discomfort, conscious sedation allows fearful individuals to receive dental treatment.
