What Is Sedation Dentistry?

We provide nitrous oxide and oral sedation at our practice, which can promote tranquility during dental services. Here’s what else they can offer you:

• Nitrous Oxide: The term "laughing gas" also refers to nitrous oxide, and this kind of sedation is intended to help you calm during the dental treatment process. Due to its administration over the nose with a mask, it is designed to keep you conscious and receptive during the operation. Nitrous oxide has been crafted to be an effective and reliable method of sedation that wears off quickly after treatment, so you should be able to go ahead and resume your activities without aftereffects.
• Oral Sedation: This type of sedation does not use needles or syringes and simply requires taking a pill before your visit. It tends to make patients feel relaxed and even sleepy when undergoing treatment. However, our patients should remain responsive to any questions and requests from our team throughout the course of treatment.

Patients That Can Benefit From Sedation Services

For healthy patients who have a mild to moderate level of anxiety regarding dental treatments, oral sedation can be helpful. Individuals who have a severe gag reflex may also benefit from this form of sedation. In order for us to determine if a patient is a candidate for oral sedation, it is imperative that any patient considering this option disclose their complete medical history and all current prescriptions to our staff. For the nervous or fearful patient, nitrous oxide may help induce much-needed tranquility. It can also help patients with sensitive gag reflexes, children, and people with special needs who might find it difficult to stay motionless during treatment.
