Nitrous Oxide Dental Sedation
Nitrous oxide is a fast-acting form of sedation that we administer when you’re in the treatment chair. We’ll place a small nasal mask that will allow you to breathe in a colorless, odorless gas. Within less than a minute, you’ll feel the effects of the sedation wash over you. Some patients get the giggles, while others feel a simple euphoric breeze come over their bodies. Whenever your appointment is complete, we’ll remove the mask so you can begin breathing regular oxygen that will help the effects quickly dissipate and allow you to go on with your day as you normally would.
Oral Conscious Dental Sedation
For patients who experience more moderate to severe dental anxiety, we also offer oral conscious sedation, which has longer lasting effects. About an hour before your appointment, you’ll take a single pill. That way, once you arrive to our dental office, you’ll already feel more relaxed. However, you’ll need to be prepared to have a trusted friend or family member drop you off and pick you up from your appointment because the effects can linger for up to eight hours.
