SEDATION IN DENTISTRY

For the anxious patient.

Relaxing the anxious patient is of primary importance to our team. We offer amenities to make all patients feel comfortable during the dental treatment ; knee support, neck cradle, music, teddy bears).

Some of our patients require additional techniques to feel relaxed (sedated).

Sedation can be accomplished by:

1. Inhalation (breathing in)  -  Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide)

This method has no side effects and the patient is able to leave the office unescorted

2. Orally by swallowing a pill. Patient should be escorted by a companion to and from the appointment.
