If you or your child is anxious visiting the dentist, our dentists are trained to use oral sedation in addition to laughing gas in order to reduce anxiety and facilitate treatment.
Nitrous Oxide has been the primary means of sedation in dentistry for many years. The patient is able to breathe on their own and remain in control of all bodily functions. The patient may experience mild amnesia, not remembering all of what happened during their appointment.
Oral Sedation
If Nitrous Oxide is not effective, oral sedation is used to manage anxiety in adults and children.
