Cougodontics, from the
english coug- and and the
Greek -odons (tooth), is a dental specialty that deals with the delivery of dental care to middle-aged women. More than simply restoring and promoting oral health, the cougodontist seeks to meet the emotional, social and psychological needs of his patient population. This is sometimes referred to as cougosedation.
Note: Cougodontics is not an
ADA recognized specialty of dentistry.
"I know it's sometimes an emotional
roller-coaster, but I find cougodontics so rewarding that I think I want to specialize."
"I'm sorry Vivian. I just
don't think I can meet your needs in this
office. I'm going to refer you to a cougodontist for further treatment."
