Anxiety Relief

Of course, there are some clients that show up that are truly afraid of dental services.  For those clients we have alternatives to just sitting in the treatment chair. We call this "Relaxation Dentistry".

Enteral Conscious Sedation- "Orally Administered Sedation", sometimes called  "Sedation Dentistry" is administered by taking a pill. All body functions remain normal and the person is able to breathe on their own. The patient will often fall asleep. Some degree of amnesia is common. The disadvantage with this method of sedation, is that the level of sedation for each person is not predictable. For this reason we require a pre-op appointment to determine the amount of medication needed to establish the therapeutic level of sedation.

Inhalation Conscious Sedation-Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Sedation also known as "laughing gas". This is the most frequently used sedation method used  in dentistry. All bodily functions remain normal and the person is able to breathe on their own. The patient will often fall asleep and experience some degree of amnesia about what happened during their dental appointment. Inhalation Sedation has been used my dentists for many years.

Please give a call to set up an appointment to evaluate your level of anxiety and counsel you on your options. This can be the way you are able to finally get the oral care that you deserve and need.
