Sedation Dentistry
Many people feel anxious before and during dental procedures. It's okay to feel nervous or even fearful when anticipating an appointment. We understand that our patients aren't all the same, and we have great news: you have options! You can experience dental treatment in a comfortable, customized approach with several different methods of sedation.
The most common form of sedation used in dentistry is inhalation therapy. While making dentistry much easier for you, it is important to understand that it is not a pain-killer, and regular numbing medications still prove essential. But sedation will make every part of your treatment more enjoyable if you're anxious.
Inhalation Sedation - Nitrous oxide sedation, also known as "laughing gas," is commonly used to make treatment more comfortable. The nitrous oxide is inhaled through a mask and produces a state of relaxation. Local anesthetic will be administered in conjunction with nitrous oxide to eliminate pain. Nitrous oxide is designed to make procedures easier for nervous patients and has been effective for many years.
