What are the sedation dentistry options available?
Sedation dentistry uses anti-anxiety medication to calm your body and mind as the dentist works on you. You won’t notice smells, feel pain, or have a sense of time. Dental fear ranges from mild uneasiness to severe anxiety, where patients completely avoid the dentist. Several sedation dentistry options are available to cater to different needs.
- Nitrous oxide: It’s also called happy or laughing gas. It involves inhaling colorless, odorless nitrous oxide through a mask on your nose. It’s the mildest form of sedation but powerful enough to keep you calm and relaxed. The sedation effects kick in when the mask is placed and remains throughout your treatment. Similarly, the sedation wears off immediately after removing the mask, allowing you to drive yourself home after treatment.
- IV sedation: Intravenous (IV) sedation offers mild to deep sedation, depending on your comfort levels. This sedation is administered through an IV line created on your hand. Since it enters the bloodstream directly, IV sedation is fast-acting. Our team will constantly monitor you during sedation to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. Unlike inhalation sedation, IV sedation doesn’t leave your body immediately after treatment. This way, you’ll need someone to drive you home.
Our sedation dentistry ensures you can experience dental care comfortably, no matter the procedure. Whether you’re here for a routine cleaning or a more complex oral surgery, our tailored sedation options are designed to meet your unique needs.
