Sedation Options at All Smiles Family Dentistry
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide is also known as laughing gas. This odorless, colorless gas helps patients relax during their dental appointments. It is 100% reversible and doesn’t put you to sleep. It is a great option for anxious patients, patients with heightened gag reflexes, and also younger patients that may need longer dental appointments.
Oral Sedation
Oral Sedation, also known as conscious sedation, is a step up from nitrous oxide sedation. For some patients, nitrous oxide doesn’t provide enough reduction in anxiety. In these cases, medications can be prescribed by Dr. Adhami prior to their dental appointment. This medication makes patients so relaxed that they may sleep throughout the procedure. Most patients will not remember the appointment the following day.
