The Dental Button

For many, the prospect of getting dental work done can be a scary one.

The Dental Button, which many dentists' offices use, aims to ease patients' fears about dental work by helping them feel more in control.

Dr. Christopher Go, DDS of Go Dental In Valencia utilizes the Dental Button and has found his patients love it.

If a patient is experiencing discomfort during a drilling procedure, all they have to do is press down on the button and the drill will automatically stop.
