Oral Conscious Dental Sedation
Patients suffering from higher levels of anxiety should ask about oral conscious sedation. You’ll be given medication before your appointment, which you’ll take at a given time. While you’re under the effects of the sedative, you’ll be in a very calm and relaxed state. You will not be asleep; you’ll be able to answer questions and follow instructions. However, you’re unlikely to care about what is going on around you, and you’ll probably forget what happened during your appointment.
Nitrous Oxide Dental Sedation
Nitrous oxide is a gas that you breathe in through a small nasal mask during your treatment. Its effects take over almost immediately, making you feel light, happy, and totally removed from worry about what is going on around you. The effects of nitrous oxide will last throughout your entire appointment, and they’ll also wear off soon after the mask is removed so you can go on about your day without any lasting grogginess.
