SEDATION SERVICES
Types of Dental Sedation
Commonly known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is a mild sedation option available at Toothologie. According to the American Dental Association, the combination of nitrous oxide and oxygen inhalation is a safe and effective way to feel relaxed while receiving dental treatment. Often referred to as conscious sedation, patients who receive nitrous oxide are conscious during their entire visit, but they are able to reach a level of relaxation during their routine teeth cleaning or other procedure.
Some dental procedures can be more involved and take longer to perform. This can include root canals, crowns, or other dental procedures. In this case intravenous sedation can be an excellent option for patients. Our trained staff at Toothologie is prepared with the latest technology and expertise to administer IV sedation to our patients. This form of conscious sedation is easily administered through an IV given to the patient at the beginning of their visit. Many patients feel as if they are in an extremely restful state and in and out of a restful sleep during their visit. This can be an excellent option for those who experience dental anxiety but need longer or more involved dental procedures performed!
At Toothologie, we pride ourselves in offering multiple options for patients to feel relaxed during their visit. Another form of sedation dental care is oral conscious sedation. This form of sedative is an oral tablet taken 30-60 minutes before beginning your dental visit. Our dentist can provide you with more information and review your medical history to prescribe this service.
