Minimal Sedation

At our office, we strive to provide you with various options for sedation for your comfort. Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is a commonly used method for easing mild to moderate anxiety. Administered through a small mask that fits over your nose, it is an effective way to calm anxiety, raise your pain threshold, and even make time seem like it's passing quicker than usual. As the gas begins to work, you will become calm, although you will still be awake and able to talk with the dentist.

At the end of your appointment, you'll resume breathing regular oxygen, and all the effects of nitrous oxide will disappear, so you can resume your normal activities immediately.

Alternatively, we can also provide oral minimal sedation that involves taking a medication one hour prior to your appointment to help reduce your anxiety.

Please contact our office to schedule a free consultation to discuss your needs, and find out if this treatment is right for you.
