What Types of Sedation Do We Offer?
Conscious Sedation
The next level of sedation is oral sedation, which does not require needles. Our office can offer several kinds of medication for you to take in the form of a pill. Oral sedation is slightly stronger than nitrous oxide, so a responsible adult must take you to and from the appointment. Our doctors will decide if this form of sedation is right for you based on your medical history.
Nitrous oxide (commonly called laughing gas) has been the primary way doctors have helped relieve patients from anxiety. The gas is administered through a face mask, and you inhale it through your nose. As the anesthetic begins to work, you’ll feel a bit groggy and desensitized. Patients who choose nitrous oxide for sedation can resume normal daily activities when the treatment is finished. We offer this when treating kids
