Who Can Sedation Dentistry Help
Dental Phobia
Low Pain Tolerance
For patients who are especially sensitive to dental procedures, sedation helps take the edge off, reducing discomfort and making treatment feel much easier.
Strong Gag Reflex
If your gag reflex makes dental work challenging, sedation can help relax your body’s response so procedures are far more comfortable.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation involves taking a prescribed medication suggested by our team. On the day of your visit, you will take it before your appointment, resulting in a more relaxed state when you arrive. It’s necessary to have someone drive you to and from your appointment, as the effects take time to wear off. Throughout your treatment, you won’t feel any pain or anxiety, as your senses will be dulled because of the medication.
The Benefits of Sedation Dentistry
Greater Comfort
Sedation helps you stay calm and at ease, creating a peaceful experience so anxiety and discomfort are significantly reduced throughout your visit.
More Efficient Care
When you’re relaxed, it’s easier for your dentist to work smoothly and without interruption. This often means your treatment can be completed faster and with fewer challenges.
Better Oral Health
Patients who typically avoid the dentist due to fear can finally receive the care they need. With sedation, routine and restorative treatments become accessible, supporting long-term oral health and overall well-being.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide is viewed as the mildest form of sedation and is commonly referred to as “laughing gas.” Its effects produce a calming and comfortable experience; however, it does not result in full sedation. Should you need nitrous oxide, you’ll be instructed to wear a nasal mask and inhale the gas to feel more at ease while in the treatment chair. When finished, we will remove the mask, and the effects will immediately begin to wear off, allowing you to resume normal activity following your appointment.
