What to Know About Sedation Dentistry
Who should consider sedation dentistry?
Sedation is a great option for patients who experience:
- Dental anxiety or phobia
- Sensitive teeth or a strong gag reflex
- Difficulty getting numb
- Complex or lengthy procedures
What sedation options are available?
At Maley Family Dental, we primarily offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas). It’s a gentle, fast-acting sedative that helps you relax without putting you to sleep. You’ll remain awake and aware but feel more at ease during your visit.
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Yes – nitrous oxide is one of the safest forms of sedation used in dentistry. It’s quickly absorbed and eliminated from the body. You can even drive yourself home after the appointment.
Do I need someone to accompany me?
With nitrous oxide, most patients can safely resume normal activities afterward. For deeper sedation methods (if needed), we’ll discuss any special arrangements in advance.
Will sedation eliminate pain?
Sedation helps manage anxiety and discomfort, but we still use local anesthesia to help make your visit pain-free.
