Oral Conscious Sedation
If you’re one of the millions of US adults or children who experience severe dental phobia or anxiety, oral conscious sedation may be your best option. Taken in pill form at a predetermined time prior to your visit, this sedative method allows patients to achieve complete relaxation before they ever leave home for our practice. Because of the long lasting effects of oral sedation, patients will need to have a friend or family member drive them to and from our office.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide is frequently referred to as laughing gas, and it is one of the longest used forms of sedation available. Patients will inhale the nitrous oxide through a nasal mask during treatment. The sedative takes effect quickly, so we can adjust the dosage to ensure patients remain completely comfortable. Best of all, nitrous oxide sedation wears away as quickly as it sets in, so patients are able to drive themselves to and from our office and resume daily activities right away.
