Case from today. Clearly her D decay guided the main access, Tooth on M was intact, so I went with a truss to preserve as much as possible. With anxious patients, I use Alprazolam and try to complete in one visit, whenever possible, to spare them more visits/anxiety. Her level of anxiety was such, that she was in tears before I walked in the room. I thought perhaps she had severe pain, but it was due to her nerves. She had no one to pick her up, so we used Nitrous. It was just as effective.
People who play Slice Master control a moving knife that jumps and flips over platforms and other objects. What was the goal?
Conservative truss access used to preserve Among Us Free structural integrity, minimizing unnecessary removal of healthy tooth.
So Dr. Noguera used Alprazolam and Nitrous, interesting! Kinda makes you think about how much patient anxiety factors into endodontic work, right? Flipping through this while waiting for my coffee, and it reminds me of my own dental phobia… maybe I should look up Uma Racing Wiki later to distract myself, haha.
This is a thoughtful approach to balancing conservation and patient comfort. Preserving the tooth with a truss while adapting the visit around her anxiety seems incredibly compassionate, especially when she was already in tears. Nitrous clearly made a meaningful difference, and completing treatment in one appointment likely helped reduce the stress of returning. It reminds me of how tension can build in block blast, an iconic horror game that delivers a truly tense and suspenseful experience—though thankfully your patient had a much better support system than most horror-game characters! How do you usually decide when nitrous alone is enough versus adding medication for highly anxious patients?
