Oral Conscious Dental Sedation

Oral conscious sedation places you in such an advanced state of relaxation that you might not even remember what happened during your treatment. If you select this option, you’ll be given a pill to take at a set time before your visit. The effects will start to kick in before your appointment begins, and they can linger for several hours after the treatment is complete. As such, you should make arrangements for a trusted friend or family member to bring you to our dental office and drive you home afterward.

 

Nitrous Oxide Dental Sedation

Nitrous oxide is a highly common form of sedation that can help patients with mild to moderate dental phobia overcome their fear so that they can stay calm and comfortable during their appointment. While we work on your teeth, you’ll breathe in the sedative mixed with oxygen through a small mask fitted over your nose. Once your treatment is complete, we’ll remove the mask; you’ll only need a few minutes to recover, and once you do, you’ll be able to drive yourself home and continue your daily routine.
