So the work we're going to be doing is separate from the sedation options.
10:45
So we kind of treat that separately.

Whenever I have a new patient that is interested in sedation, we first figure out, well, what do you need, right? So if a patient comes in and they have no needs, they have no fillings needed, they have no extraction, nothing that is major, they just need a quote-unquote simple cleaning and their teeth look pretty good, then I can say, well, pretty much you might need something we call a prophylaxis or a preventive cleaning.

And most every patient will say, oh, I don't need to be sedated for that.
11:14
I think I'm good.

19:27
That's right.

So when the patient wants the super vibrant white, I always double down and kind of double check and kind of show them photos online and go, are you sure? Right.
