Sedation Dentistry: Overcoming Dental Anxiety for Better Oral Health

Sedation Dentistry

Smile Dental offers sedation dentistry so you can unwind and smile

For many, dental visits can evoke fear and anxiety, leading to avoidance of essential oral care. At Smile Dental, we understand the impact of dental anxiety on your overall well-being.

How Sedation Dentistry Can Help You

Sedation dentistry provides a calming effect, making dental treatments more inviting and manageable. At Smile Dental, we offer the following sedation options:

Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide)

Laughing gas is a popular choice for patients seeking relaxation during dental procedures. Administered through a small mask placed over your nose, laughing gas is mixed with oxygen to induce a mild sedative effect. It helps alleviate anxiety quickly, and the effects wear off just as swiftly after treatment.

Oral Conscious Sedation

For patients with moderate anxiety or undergoing longer procedures, oral conscious sedation offers a deeper level of relaxation. You’ll take a prescribed medication before your appointment, which induces a calming effect while allowing you to remain conscious and responsive. Although the sedative effects may linger for a while after the procedure, oral conscious sedation ensures you remain comfortable throughout your visit. It’s important to arrange for transportation home after your appointment.
