Oral Conscious Dental Sedation

Oral conscious sedation is great for patients who suffer from dental fear or have physical limitations that make it difficult for them to sit in the treatment chair for long periods of time. Before your treatment, we’ll prescribe you a pill to take about an hour before you arrive at our dental office. By the time you reach our dental office, you’ll feel relaxed and comfortable. We’ll guide you back to the treatment room and conduct the procedure, which will seem to flow by in minutes. You’ll need to have a trusted friend or family member drop you off and pick you up afterward.

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous Oxide, or laughing gas, is a safe and effective form of sedation that doesn’t require medication or a prescription. It has been trusted by dental patients since the mid-1800s, and is still used today to help relax patients during appointments. Nitrous Oxide can be used for children and adults, with masks of varying sizes to ensure a comfortable fit. In fact, children’s masks come in fun-scented options to add an extra level of relaxation. A few deep breaths of nitrous oxide will have you feeling relaxed in a matter of minutes. Whether for a hygiene cleaning, a crown, or oral surgery, patients can request nitrous oxide for their appointments.

Relaxation

We employ many techniques in our dental office to help you feel comfortable and relaxed that do not rely on a prescription. Nitrous Oxide, or laughing gas, has been used in dental offices for decades to help patients feel at ease. Unlike prescriptions, nitrous oxide does not require you to take any pills and you will be able to drive yourself to and from your appointment, as the effects will only last for as long as you are in your procedure.

Other relaxation techniques include: peace and calming aromatherapy, paraffin wax dip and hand warmers, heated aromatherapy neck rolls, warm blankets, earbuds for your personal music or the overhead TV, earplugs, and calming music played throughout the dental office.
