We offer two types of conscious sedatives for those that are nervous or have anxiety issues about dental treatments. We offer Nitrous Oxide and/oral sedation.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Sedation with nitrous oxide, more commonly known as laughing gas, decreases anxiety and promotes relaxation while you remain conscious. Nitrous oxide and oxygen are mixed together and then inhaled through a nose piece prior to any dental procedure. Sensations include lightheadedness, relaxation, and a comfortable, warm-all-over feeling. This is a safe, effective, and non-invasive, sedation method of choice for anxious or fearful patients.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation is a prescription only. It is a small dosage that is to be taken the night before and the day of dental treatment. Due to this particular medication, a designated driver is required to accompany you to and from your dental appointment.
