Is Sedation Dentistry Right for You?
-
The only way to determine if sedation dentistry is right for you is to schedule an appointment with Dr. Sara or Dr. Roxana. This visit will allow for a thorough conversation about your oral and overall health history in addition to discussing any medications you are currently taking.
By understanding more about your medical conditions, we can identify if one form of sedation might be better than another. We can also determine if sedation dentistry is a possibility at all, as some individuals should avoid treatment until a specific condition or health problem is properly managed (i.e., respiratory illness, pregnancy, etc.).
In most cases, though, the following reasons are all worthy considerations when discussing the idea of dental sedation:
- Past trauma at another dentist’s office
- Sensitive or strong gag reflex
- Physical disability makes it hard to sit still in the treatment chair
- Difficulty getting numb with other forms of anesthesia
- Mild to severe dental anxiety

Fear of needles
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide is also referred to as laughing gas, and it is considered the lightest form of sedation. Safe to use and easy to administer, you simply inhale the colorless and odorless gas to begin experiencing its effects. Feelings of warmth and euphoria are common among recipients, allowing our team to complete the necessary dental work without distractions. An added benefit of nitrous oxide is its effects dissipate just as fast as they come on, allowing you to drive yourself to and from your appointment.
Hospital Dentistry/General Anesthesiology
When children or adults are preparing for more invasive dental treatment, hospital dentistry/general anesthesiology can be provided. This form of sedation allows for a more comprehensive approach that makes it possible for those with physical limitations or medical conditions to receive the oral healthcare that is required. Not only will Dr. Sara and Dr. Roxana ensure the best possible care, but they will also closely monitor each patient based on their unique needs throughout treatment.
