Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide sedation is administered while you’re in the treatment chair in the office. We’ll place a small mask over your nose that will allow you to breathe in a colorless, odorless gas. Within moments, you’ll feel a calm come over you, helping you get comfortable and allowing your anxieties to take a backseat during your visit.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral sedation comes in the form of a single pill that you’ll take about an hour ahead of your scheduled appointment time, giving the effects enough time to fully kick-in. Typically a benzodiazepines like Valium or Halcion, oral sedation is designed for patients with moderate dental fear or anxiety, or for those that have difficulty sitting in the treatment chair. Because the effects can linger, you must have a friend or family member ready to drop you off and pick you up from your appointment.
