Experience Dentistry Free From Stress And Anxiety
Sedation options are available to prevent you from feeling pain and discomfort during your dental procedure. There are several methods available and several may be combined to give you complete coverage. The type of sedation used will depend on your personalized treatment plan, your personal needs and the expert opinion of your dentist or specialist.
Types of Sedation
The different kinds of sedation available at our practice are as follows. We can temporarily numb the small area receiving the work, You can be sedated so you are still awake but completely relaxed, or you can numbed with nitrous oxide. Here’s some more information about each group:
Local Freezing
Everyone is familiar with this reliable standard. We patiently numb the area and then carefully inject a local anesthetic to put a small area of your mouth to sleep. You may feel pressure but will not feel pain.
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is used in dentistry to help patients relax during dental procedures. It is administered through a mask over the nose, and the patient inhales the gas. Nitrous oxide induces a mild sedative and analgesic effect, reducing anxiety and pain perception. It acts quickly and is eliminated rapidly from the body. Dentists can control the dosage for a customized experience and to make sure your are properly prepared for the dental work.
The Benefits Of Sedation
Sedation and sleep dentistry are useful options that help us serve patients from all walks of life with many different challenges to overcome. Some of the benefits of sedation dentistry are as follows:
