Oral Sedation
Oral sedation involves a patient taking a prescribed medication before their appointment in order to feel mentally and physically relaxed, no matter what kind of procedure they need. Most patients remain awake while in the chair, but many describe feeling like they slept through their entire visit afterward. This is a simple solution for those with mild to moderate dental phobia, and we can prescribe a variety of drugs based on the unique needs of each patient.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide has been used by dentists for over 100 years to gently “take the edge off” of dental nerves, and it’s so effective that we still use it today here at ProSmiles. A patient simply inhales the gas through a small nasal mask, and within a minute or so, they will feel a sense of calm and wellbeing come over them. The mask stays on for the entire appointment, and once it’s removed, a patient will experience no lingering drowsiness or numbness, meaning they can go straight back to their day without interruption.
