IV Sedation
We bring in a local, specially-trained nurse to perform our IV sedation. To administer the medicine, they’ll start an IV in your hand or arm. The sedative will then enter your bloodstream to create an intense calming effect. This effect will likely be so strong that you don’t remember much of your visit. You’ll also need someone to drive you home from the appointment. Given these facts, IV sedation is best suited for patients with extreme dental fears.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide sedation works well for those with low dental anxiety. In essence, it has you inhale nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) through a nose mask before and during care. Doing so leaves you relaxed and mildly euphoric in just a few short moments. While you’re under these effects, our team will finish your treatment smoothly. You can then resume everyday activities once we’re done. After all, nitrous oxide effects don’t persist – they wear off once you stop breathing the gas.
