Oral Conscious Sedation
If you have a moderate amount of dental fear that has made you avoid even routine care for years, then oral conscious sedation might be exactly what you need. You’ll be prescribed a pill to take at home the day of your visit so you’ll already feel completely relaxed by the time you sit down in the treatment chair. The appointment will seem to go by very fast, and some patients even end up falling asleep!
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Inhaled through a small nasal mask, nitrous oxide quickly helps a patient feel warmer, happier, and a little numb all over, instantly taking the edge off of any lingering nerves. It’s perfect for patients with minor dental anxiety, and better yet, it has no lasting effects. Once we’re finished with a procedure and the mask is removed, a patient will feel normal within minutes, meaning they can go straight back to their day.
