Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide is commonly known as laughing gas and is the safest and most widely used form of sedation dentistry. Nitrous oxide gas is administered through a small face mask that fits comfortably over your nose and mouth. You will breathe in through the nasal mask, a combination of nitrous and oxygen. The gas smells and tastes slightly sweet, and you will quickly begin to feel very relaxed.

The effects are fast acting, and the level of nitrous can be easily adjusted. Nitrous is great for dental patients with mild to moderate anxiety, for routine appointments or complex procedures. One of the best things about nitrous oxide sedation is that the effects wear off quickly, within five minutes of regular breathing. This means you are free to drive yourself home with no residual effects.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral conscious sedation uses an oral sedative (prescription oral medication) in combination with nitrous oxide to help patients relax in the dental chair. Oral conscious sedation is a heavier type of sedation that leaves anxious patients with little to no memory of their dental procedure. Oral conscious sedation is different than a general anesthetic, as you will be awake and able to breathe and speak on your own.

A pre-sedation appointment is required to gather important information including health history regarding vital signs and respiratory health. Your sedative prescription will be given at this appointment, as well as any prescriptions needed for after treatment. Oral conscious sedation requires patients have a physical exam from a primary care physician that is less than a year old.

This form of deep sedation requires transportation to and from the appointment.
