Relax With Dental Sedation

You can receive laughing gas to help ease your nerves during dental visits. This safe, mild sedative flows through a small nose mask and creates a wave of relaxation within minutes.

You'll typically feel warm, calm, and slightly tingly while remaining fully awake and able to communicate. Your worries simply fade into the background.

The best part about laughing gas is how quickly it works - and how fast it wears off. Unlike other sedation methods that can leave you groggy for hours, laughing gas effects disappear just minutes after we remove the mask. You can drive yourself home and return to normal activities right away.

It's perfect for patients with busy schedules and can help you relax during everything from exams to oral surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Relieving Dental Anxiety

Why is relieving dental anxiety important? 
Fear of the dentist can be so severe that a patient will not come into the office for decades at a time. Because oral health affects overall health, this person is likely suffering not only in their mouth but also in other areas of their body. It’s important that we find a solution for the fear so that every patient can remain healthy.
What can you do to relieve dental anxiety?
We offer inhaled sedation, or laughing gas, to help eliminate any anxiety you’re experiencing. This gentle sedative will give you a warm, tingly feeling all over and may even make you feel slightly giddy. We also have several cozy amenities to help you feel at home, including headphones, soft pillows, and warm blankets.
Are there steps I can take at home to relieve dental anxiety?
We believe the more you prepare at home, the better your dental experience will be. If you start to feel anxious about your dental work, take six to 10 deep breaths slowly. Doing so will help you relax and lower your heart rate. It also helps to picture yourself lying back comfortably in the dental chair. When it comes time for your appointment, you can also use these techniques in our office.
