Going to the dentist may not be your favorite thing to do, but when you have severe anxiety, special needs, or require numerous treatments, it can feel impossible to get the care you need.
That’s why we offer sedation dentistry to patients from Monroe and the surrounding area.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is designed to keep you calm and relaxed so you can restore your oral health.
Our dental office offers two types of sedation:
- Nitrous oxide — Also known as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is a mixture of oxygen and nitrous. When you breathe it in through a small mask over your nose, you’ll feel at ease and comfortable. It wears off quickly and is safe for patients of all ages.
- Oral conscious sedation — For more severe dental anxiety, or if you need numerous dental procedures on the same day, we can prescribe a pill for you to take before you arrive for your appointment. You’ll be deeply relaxed during your visit, and even though you’ll be awake, you may not remember anything. For this type of sedation, you will need someone to drive you to and from your appointment.
