Our Dental Anesthesia Options
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation dentistry involves taking medication before your appointment to help you feel relaxed and calm throughout the procedure. It’s a safe and effective dental anesthesia option for patients with dental anxiety or those undergoing lengthy treatments. You’ll remain conscious but deeply relaxed with this dental anesthesia option, ensuring a more comfortable and stress-free experience.
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide, also known as “laughing gas,” is a safe, mild sedation dentistry option to help patients feel calm and relaxed during dental procedures. It is administered through a small mask placed over the nose, allowing you to breathe in the gas while remaining awake and responsive. The effects wear off quickly, enabling you to resume normal activities shortly after your appointment.
Avoiding the Dentist Due to Fear? Understand the Risks to Your Health
Prolonging checkups and avoiding necessary treatments due to fear or anxiety can have serious consequences for both your oral and overall health. Untreated dental issues, such as cavities, gum disease, or infections, can worsen over time, leading to more complex problems like tooth loss, abscesses, and even jawbone deterioration.
Neglecting your oral health also increases the risk of developing systemic conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections, as harmful bacteria from the mouth can spread throughout the body. Addressing dental care promptly is essential to maintaining not only a healthy smile but also your overall well-being!
