Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is perfect for patients with moderate dental anxiety. A small mask is placed over the nose, and after a few breaths of the odorless gas, the patient should feel lighter, happier, and much more relaxed. It stays on for the entire visit, and once we take off the mask, the effects wear off in a matter of minutes with no lasting drowsiness.
Oral Conscious Sedation
If you could take a pill and make your dental nerves disappear, would you do it? That’s basically how oral conscious sedation works! We’ll prescribe you medication that you’ll use on the day of your appointment and time it so that you’ll be nice and calm when you sit in the chair. Due to the strength of OCS, you’ll need a trusted friend or family member to drive you to and from our office.
IV Dental Sedation
IV sedation can not only help people with the highest levels of dental anxiety, but it also enables our team to complete more procedures in a single appointment to save time. The medication is administered directly into the bloodstream, creating an almost immediate effect that allows many patients to drift off to sleep. Most stay awake, however, but time will seemingly fly by, meaning the visit is over before they know it!
