Anxiety-Free Dentistry is performed without an IV or putting the patient to sleep. It is very helpful for patients that have severe anxiety in receiving dental treatment. The patient is given an oral sedative that relaxes them but does not put them "to sleep". The patient is awake, and one of the side effects is that the medication is amnesic and patients remember very little of the procedure.
The patient must have a driver to bring them to and from the appointment to receive sedation dentistry.
Relax with "Laughing Gas"
Nitrous oxide is a procedure we perform to help aid anxious patients or those with severe gag reflexes. Nitrous oxide is a gas, sometimes known as laughing gas, which the patient breathes through their nose during a dental procedure. It is a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen and helps the patient to relax and calm their apprehension. One of the many benefits of Nitrous Oxide is that there are no lingering side effects and the patient can drive home by himself or herself after using it.
Would nitrous oxide help your dental experience?
