Dental Sedation: Things We Consider For Each Patient

You might have always thought that there’s just one type of dental sedation for you if you require additional numbing or relaxation for your oral surgery procedure or visit. What you will discover (or have likely already realized) is that you have multiple options. There’s nitrous oxide, IV sedation, and oral sedation. While there’s certainly nothing disappointing about variety, there may be something about it that confuses you. Why do we offer so many options and what exactly do we consider for each of our patients in order to choose the right option? Consider some details.

Do You Mind How It’s Administered?

Some patients never even think about this detail for a second. For others, it’s extremely important! To ensure everyone is happy and comfortable, this is one thing we take into consideration regarding dental sedation. Do you dislike the idea of wearing a mask? Well then, nitrous oxide is out! Are you afraid of needles? No problem: We offer oral sedation or nitrous! You see? There’s an answer for everyone’s comfort level.

Do You Need To Get Back To Your Day?

If you are coming in for a visit and you require dental sedation but you definitely need to adhere to your usual schedule, your only answer for a sedative that wears off quickly and thoroughly enough is nitrous oxide. Let us know! This means that oral sedation and IV sedation are out!

What’s Your Level Of Anxiety?

Unless we are determining you need deep dental sedation based on a particular procedure, your level of anxiety is one of the key factors in what you receive. Let us know all about how you feel, so we may offer you the strength best fitted to your needs.
