Oral Conscious Sedation Dentistry
You’ll be advised to take some medication at some point before the appointment. Once the effects kick in, you’ll start to feel extremely rested and relaxed. (This is likely to happen before you get to our dental office, so make sure you have someone you trust to drive you.) You most likely won’t even remember what happened during your treatment. That said, you’ll still be able to respond to our requests, and we can easily wake you if you happen to doze off.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation Dentistry
Known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide slows down your body’s reaction time whenever you inhale it, causing you to feel extremely calm and even euphoric. It is a relatively mild sedative that is recommended for patients with mild anxieties. This method of sedation is extremely safe, and it typically wears off relatively quickly; unlike other options, it will allow you to drive yourself home or head back to work once your dental treatment is complete.
Sedation Dentistry FAQ's
- Nitrous oxide: Nitrous oxide, or "laughing gas," is a safe sedation method administered through a mask over the nose to help patients relax during dental procedures.
- Oral sedation: Oral sedation involves taking prescribed medication in pill or liquid form before the dental appointment to induce relaxation and reduce anxiety during the procedure.
- IV sedation: IV sedation is a form of conscious sedation where medications are administered directly into the bloodstream via an intravenous line, allowing for a deeper level of sedation.
