Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide is commonly known as laughing gas and is the safest and most widely used form of sedation. Nitrous oxide is administered through a small face mask that fits comfortably over your nose and mouth. You will breathe in through the 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 patients with mild to moderate anxiety, for routine appointments or complex treatments. One of the best things about nitrous oxide 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 medication) in combination with nitrous oxide to help patients relax in the dental chair. Oral conscious sedation is a heavier form of sedation that leaves patients with little to no memory of their appointment. 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 vitals 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 sedation requires transportation to and from the appointment.

Tooth Colored Fillings

Tooth colored fillings might just be the greatest thing since sliced bread. Pretty much everyone will need at least one cavity filled in their life, but no one wants a glaring dark spot on their tooth when they open their mouth.Traditional metal fillings are not only unsightly but typically contain trace amounts of mercury, which we now know to be quite toxic to the human body. Not to mention, metal fillings tend to expand and contract with temperature changes, causing them to crack and break.

Thankfully, we now use a tooth colored resin to stop decay and fill cavities. Tooth colored fillings are completely safe and natural looking and can withstand temperature changes without losing their integrity.

If you have a cavity that needs to be filled, let our outstanding McPherson dental team be the one to restore your smile – naturally!
