Project Overview

To provide dental care to Afghan Refugee children with prior traumatic dental experiences without the use of nitrous oxide, IV sedation or general anesthesia.

Outcome

Patient A.N. was very receptive by appointment 2 for restorative procedures and anesthetic usage. We believe we were able to build trust with our patient, allowing him to be comfortable receiving dental care.
