Types of Dental Sedation
At Toothworks Dental Clinics we offer sedation options for our patients.
Your dentist can help determine if sedation is right for you, and which option will best suit your needs.
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide (or laughing gas) is inhaled through the mouth and nose. The medication can calm patients even though they remain awake and able to communicate. It also tends to lessen anxiety, increase pain threshold, reduce gag reflex and make time pass more quickly.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedatives are pills or liquids prescribed by your dentist and taken orally. The medication leaves you awake for the procedure but should significantly relax you.
Feeling anxious? We can help!
Dental anxiety is a common condition when a patient experiences fear about their dental appointments.
