Relief from Dental Fear with Sedation Dentistry
If you are feeling stressed or anxious about that upcoming dental visit, talk to Dr. Jeffrey Alvarado about sedation dentistry options available at our practice. We offer a number of sedation dentistry
options for patients that need relief from dental anxiety or fear, including pain-free anesthesia with the DentalVibe® solution. Our goal is to make every visit as comfortable as possible and we may recommend some form of sedation as part of your treatment plan.
Types of Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous Oxide
If you have a hard time getting numb, nitrous oxide may be the best type of sedation dentistry for you. Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide can help you feel more relaxed within minutes of inhaling the gas and we control the level of sedation by releasing more or less gas. You will return back to normal within minutes after the gas is stopped so you may even be able to drive yourself home after treatment.
Oral Sedation
Patients with mild to moderate levels of anxiety can benefit from oral sedation dentistry. This involves taking anti-anxiety medication to help you feel more calm and relaxed throughout treatment. You may even feel drowsy after your procedure so you will need someone to drive you home.
