Re: Dentist who will use nitrous oxide
I'd like to recommend my dentist: Robert Albertson, DDS. His office is in downtown Oakland at 1510 Franklin Street. I saw him this summer after about 4 years of not visiting a dentist. I needed some work done on the plaque I had built up, and he suggested the use of nitrous oxide during my deep cleaning, which I did opt for. I suspect he'd be supportive of a patient requesting the gas.

I visited his office three times over the course of a month and found him and his office staff to be very professional. He did get repetitive with his advice to me on improving my brushing & flossing regimen. However, he could probably tell that I'm still not flossing and was trying to make the message sink in.

One warning: this office has obviously not been remodeled in about 30 years. Do not be scared away by the layout or decor. Though it looks quite obsolete, the staff working in it is good. You can call them at 510-893-1923. clean teeth
