What is Dental Sedation?
Many people feel nervous about visiting the dentist due to fear of pain, past negative experiences, or general anxiety. At American Dental Center, we provide gentle, supportive care along with various dental sedation options to help you feel calm and comfortable. These options include nitrous oxide sedation, which helps you relax while staying awake, and intravenous sedation for a deeper level of calm during more complex treatments. Our team takes the time to listen, explain procedures clearly, and ensure a stress-free experience tailored to your needs.
Sedation
Dental sedation options involve the use of medication to help you feel calm and at ease during dental procedures. While under sedation, whether using intravenous sedation or nitrous oxide sedation, you’ll experience significantly reduced anxiety and won’t feel pain or discomfort. You’ll remain conscious and able to respond to your dentist, though you might not recall much of the procedure afterward. When administered by qualified and experienced professionals, these dental sedation options provide a safe and effective way to ensure a more relaxed treatment experience.
Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas)
To help reduce anxiety and make your dental visit more comfortable, we offer various dental sedation options, including nitrous oxide sedation, commonly referred to as laughing gas. This mild and effective sedative is inhaled through a small mask placed over your nose and begins to work within minutes, helping you feel relaxed and at ease during your treatment. It’s a popular choice for patients who feel nervous or uneasy about dental procedures, as it provides a sense of calm while still allowing you to remain awake and responsive. For those seeking deeper sedation, we also provide intravenous sedation to ensure a more relaxed experience.
