What Kinds of Sedation Options Do I Have?

The choices of sedation vary and are dependent on your level of anxiety. 

NITROUS OXIDE

Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is breathed with oxygen through a mask to help you relax. 

ORAL SEDATION

You will simply take a pill approximately one hour before the appointment, which will make you feel relaxed and calm.

IV SEDATION

We will administer drugs intravenously to achieve a state of relaxation and amnesia. You will not remember anything from your visit.

If you have questions or concerns about sedation dentistry, please contact our office.
