Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide is a colorless and odorless gas that is inhaled through a nasal mask to create a relaxing experience you will enjoy. Mild and safe to use on patients of all ages, its effects come on quickly, allowing for more efficient dental care. While each person’s experience will vary, most admit to feelings of warmth, comfort, and even euphoria. One of the primary benefits of nitrous oxide, though, is how quickly the effects dissipate once the gas is turned off and your mask is removed. This allows you to return to your normal activities after your appointment.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation is slightly more powerful than nitrous oxide, as it can help you enter a deeper state of relaxation and remain unbothered by your surroundings. Our dentists will provide a prescription medication that you will take before your appointment, which will help you become more comfortable by the time you reach the treatment chair. While you may doze off during your appointment, we can easily awaken you if necessary. The effects of oral conscious sedation require more time to wear off, so you will need someone to drive you home after treatment.
IV Sedation
IV sedation is an invasive solution because it is administered directly into the bloodstream, allowing you to stay relaxed throughout treatment and receive the oral healthcare you need. The effects of IV sedation are strong, so it will likely cause you to experience temporary amnesia; however, you do not need to be worried, as you will only be unable to recall your time spent in the dentist’s chair. A family member or friend will need to escort you home, as it will take time for the side effects to fully wear off.
