Oral Conscious Sedation

Individuals who deal with a moderate level of dental anxiety will find that oral conscious sedation can be a great way to undergo necessary dental care without the added fear. Taken as an oral medication, it works quickly to enter your system and calm your nerves. By the time you reach our dentist’s chair, you’ll feel at ease and ready for treatment. Although you will not be fully sedated, you may feel groggy once your visit is complete.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation

Highly effective and safe for both children and adults, nitrous oxide is a milder form of sedation that helps to “take the edge off” when receiving any kind of dental treatment. Known as laughing gas, the mask used to inhale the nitrous oxide is placed over the nose and works quickly to put you into a relaxed state. While some claim to feel warm, you can expect to remain completely comfortable while breathing in the gas mixture. One great advantage of nitrous oxide is that its effects quickly dissipate once turned off.
