Sedation Dentistry:

A Solution For Dental Fear

Sedation dentistry offers a solution for patients with dental fear, a sensitive gag reflex, a low pain threshold, or those requiring multiple complex treatments. Sedation dentistry not only helps you overcome dental fear and anxiety but also enables you to receive the necessary dental care for a healthy smile. By addressing oral health issues promptly, you can prevent more serious dental problems and potential systemic conditions. Our goal is to provide you with a positive dental experience that promotes overall health and well-being.

Sedation Dentistry Services

We provide two primary forms of oral sedation: Oral Sedation and Nitrous Oxide. Each option has benefits and considerations, allowing us to tailor your sedation experience to your needs and preferences.

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is a safe and commonly used form of sedation in dentistry. It is administered through a mask worn over the nose and provides a mild level of sedation, allowing patients to feel relaxed during their dental treatment.

Nitrous Oxide Benefits:

  • Rapid onset of action, providing immediate relaxation
  • Easily adjustable by the dentist to achieve the desired level of sedation
  • Safe for patients of all ages, including children
  • Effects wear off quickly after the mask is removed
  • No lingering sedative effects, allowing for a swift recovery

Who It’s For: Ideal for patients with mild to moderate dental anxiety, those undergoing routine dental procedures, and individuals who prefer a non-invasive form of sedation.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication by mouth before your dental appointment. It induces relaxation and reduces anxiety, making it ideal for patients with moderate to severe dental fears or those undergoing complex procedures.

Oral Sedation Benefits:

  • Effectively reduces anxiety and promotes relaxation
  • Allows for deeper sedation compared to nitrous oxide
  • May induce an amnesic effect, leading to minimal recollection of the dental procedure
  • Can be administered orally, avoiding the need for injections

Who It’s For: Suitable for patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety, those undergoing lengthy or invasive procedures, and individuals with a strong gag reflex.
