SEDATION
We care about your experience and want you to feel comfortable
At Moxley Family Dental, we care about your experience and want you to feel comfortable at all times. We offer options for sedation dentistry:
- Nitrous Oxide Sedation
- Oral Conscious Sedation
Nitrous oxide sedation, also known as “laughing gas”, is commonly used to make treatment more comfortable. The nitrous oxide is inhaled through a mask and produces a state of relaxation. Local anesthetic will be administered in conjunction with nitrous oxide to eliminate pain. Nitrous oxide is designed to make procedures easier for patients and has been effective for many decades.
Oral sedation is an excellent option for patients who suffer from dental anxiety. It is simply taking a pill at a set time before your treatment. The drug produces a calming effect to make the visit to our office much less stressful. Oral sedation is simple, safe, and has very few side effects. Oral sedation does require you to have a driver and plan to take the rest of the day off.
