“Sedation Dentistry Saved My Life!” I hated ALL dentists (not personally but the thought of them) until now. I have had many dental procedures and know the pain of shots, infections, dry sockets, root canals, extractions and sore spots. I had a major infection in one of my teeth and knew I had to see a dentist. I found Dr. Botsford on the Internet because I figured the only way I would make it through any dental procedure was by being sedated. I was SCARED! Dr. Botsford met with me and we discussed my medical history and he advised me on what medications to reduce or not take prior to the sedation appointment. FYI – For the past 2 years of my life, I have been battling strange lesions on my skin. I saw 6 dermatologists. They could not determine what was causing it. I was diagnosed as having shingles, some strange bacterial, scabies, lupus, and eczema. I was even tested for drugs or told I was the cause by picking at it!!! Whenever my skin broke out, I always got a cold but recently, I was becoming very ill. Temps of 104, pneumonia (2 times), staff infections, life threatening stuff! I was missing so much work recently, I quit to avoid termination. My husband and I were constantly fighting because I looked awful , couldn’t care of my family and the amount of money spent in dermatology bills, plus all the over the counter remedies I tried and now I wasn’t working. The day before my appointment, I discontinued my medication and took the anti-anxiety medication to help sleep – it helped. Then, I took the pill one hour before my appointment and I became rather talkative. Once I arrived at the office, I don’t remember too much more until waking up in my bed without pain after two extractions. I slept a lot the first day and part of the second day. Amazingly, my skin began to heal – almost too fast. I didn’t take my medication for 2 days and my skin was normal. I took my medication on the third day and my skin started breaking out. Oh my God! This medication is causing an allergic reaction! Wait! The dermatologists who took biopsies (total of 4) told me that I am not allergic to this medication. I stopped taking the medication. The end of my skin problems. I got new dentures (very embarrassing to t ype that!) and they look FABULOUS! The time Dr. Botsford took to make certain they would fit was so much more than any previous dentist. I only had 2 minor sore spots. They fit GREAT, my skin problems ARE TOTALLY GONE and I LOOK GREAT! DR BOTSFORD LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE.
