Sedation Dentistry
We offer dental sedation to help achieve a relaxed state during treatment but you may respond to speech or touch. We have a team of professionals who will help guide you or your loved one through this process.
We offer two types of sedation dentistry at our office. First being Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) and secondly being IV sedation.
Nitrous Oxide is a mild sedative. It is delivered through a nose hood and is provide throughout the entire procedure. Nitrous Oxide elevates the general mood, relieves anxiety and reduces stress. Under this mild sedative you may experience some tingling and numbness but these symptoms will dissipate when the administration of nitrous is terminated.
IV Sedation is a moderate sedation. It is delivered through a small catheter placed in the vein. Patient feel like they slept through the procedure and feel groggy and sleepy when the IV sedation is withdrawn. This requires you to arrange a ride home after treatment is performed. Please note that we only offer semi conscious sedation for the extractions of teeth.
If you require sedation for your treatment needs, call us at (705) 721-9229.
