What is sedation dentistry?
Imagine a dental visit where fear and discomfort are things of the past. That’s exactly what sedation dentistry offers. This approach uses medication to help you relax during dental procedures, making it ideal for patients with dental anxiety, low pain tolerance, or those needing extensive treatment. The goal? A stress-free, comfortable experience that ensures you get the care you need without worry.
Types of sedation dentistry
At Clover Hills Dentistry, we provide a range of sedation options tailored to your unique needs:
1. Nitrous oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide is a mild sedative inhaled through a mask placed over your nose. It helps you feel calm, making dental treatments more pleasant. Best of all, the effects wear off quickly.
2.Oral conscious sedation
For a deeper sense of relaxation, oral sedation involves taking a medication about an hour before the procedure. You’ll stay awake but feel calm and drowsy throughout the procedure. If you are an adult, since the sedative lasts longer, you’ll need someone to drive you home.
