Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry is the administration of medication in one of many forms to help soothe the nerves and ease your anxiety. Sedation dentistry allows even the most anxious to get the important oral care they need. The most common form of dental sedation is nitrous oxide, which is a mild form of sedation where you’ll breathe in nitrous oxide via a mask during your treatment. This gas helps to relax your mind and body.

To help you be best prepared, we will provide specific instructions before your treatment. Typically, comfortable clothing, what and when you can eat, and what to expect after dental sedation will be discussed. When you’re in the chair, we walk you through techniques that can help you as we administer sedation therapy without you even noticing! If we believe you’ll need someone to drive you after your procedure, we’ll be sure to let you know that as well.
