Oral Conscious Dental Sedation
Oral conscious sedation is meant to put patients with advanced dental fears into a highly relaxed state where they’re comfortable with everything going on around them; it’s also useful for helping patients sit still for longer treatments. You’ll take a pill about an hour before your appointment so that you’ll already be feeling the effects by the time the treatment starts. Plan on having someone else bring you to our dental office and drive you home afterwards.
Nitrous Oxide Dental Sedation
One of the most common types of dental sedation that you’ve probably heard about is nitrous oxide. There’s no preparation needed; you simply sit down in the dental chair like usual, and a special mask is fitted over your nose so that you can breathe in the nitrous oxide during your appointment. Nitrous oxide wears off much faster than other sedatives, which makes it suitable for routine dental checkups and patients who are only a little anxious.
