Oral Sedation

How Can Sedation Dentistry Help Me?

Dental anxieties are common and nothing to be ashamed of. To make you more comfortable, sedation dentistry offers quick and precise anxiety relief during your procedure. Administered intravenously, Oral sedation is beneficial for those with dental fears or undergoing extensive treatments, providing a relaxed experience and often leading to limited recollection of the procedure.

Types of Sedation Dentistry

Reduced anxiety

• Nitrous Oxide Sedation
• Nitrous oxide, commonly called happy gas or laughing gas, is used to alleviate anxiety during dental treatment. Administered through a small nosepiece, you remain awake throughout the entire treatment procedure.

Keeps you calm

• Oral Conscious Sedation
• This involves a doctor-prescribed prescription for multiple sedative pills. Sedative medication is taken the night before and the morning of your procedure, ensuring your comfort throughout the entire treatment process.

Eases discomfort

• IV Sedation
• This involves intravenously administering sedatives to put you in a diminished state of consciousness throughout the procedure. This approach has other benefits, including reducing post-operative swelling and pain.
