To Our Patients,

We understand and deeply respect that you may be concerned about Coronavirus in public places… even at our state-of-the-art sterilized office.

At Kennedy Dentistry, I want to assure you that our office has even further heightened our already rigid sterilization safeguards and office cleaning standards to minimize the possibility of transmission to our outstanding team…or to you, our valued patient. We have always far exceeded all standards for sterilization and patient care.

Our first priority is always the health and well-being of our patients. And that is a priority we take extremely seriously, even with the current disruptions we’re all experiencing.

Your dental health remains important to us as it plays such an important role in your overall health.

When you visit our office, you’ll see we’ve taken all the necessary steps to ensure you have the best patient experience possible. If you are experiencing any symptoms, please do not come to our office and call us to reschedule your appointment. We care for you and all our patients. If we see any symptoms in our patients or our team, we will reschedule the appointment on the spot and send that individual home.

It is just one more way that we can show our high level of care for you…and for everyone in our community. We very much look forward to seeing you, your family, and your friends very soon.

Sincerely,

Dr. Patrick Kennedy
Kennedy Dentistry

Wonderful group! My dentist recently retired after decades of service and I really dreaded going somewhere different, but these folks made me feel like I’ve been with them for years. I’m looking forward to seeing them again.

Dr Kennedy is awesome and so was the hygienist! I was very disappointed I had to pay $10 for my visit. I went for a cleaning and my insurance pays 100% but since they have had to increase the amount of PPE they use I had to pay $10! This is not disclosed before your appointment either. I didn’t find out until I arrived.

Common Questions About Dental Sedation

At Kennedy Dentistry, we use laughing gas, a sedative with a history of dental use that dates back to the 1800s. Complications are so rare that even young children can safely receive it. It is administered through a small mask worn over your nose. So unlike an oral sedative, it’s quite easy for us to increase or lessen the amount you receive during your procedure.

The most common forms of sedation used in dentistry are laughing gas, the method we use at Kennedy Dentistry; oral sedatives, in the form of prescription medication; and IV sedation that is administered intravenously. Laughing gas is our preferred method because, unlike other kinds of sedation, almost anyone can receive it.

Our preferred form of sedation, laughing gas, takes effect within minutes and wears off in a similar amount of time. It also won’t leave any lingering grogginess, so you will feel like yourself again almost immediately. You can even drive yourself home after your procedure if you’d like.
