Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide is a form of sedation that can be used by children, teens and adults. Nitrous oxide works by administering the sedation through a mask that is placed over the nose. Within minutes, the sedation will begin to take effect, helping you feel completely relaxed and at ease. Surrounding sounds and smells will not bother you, but you will be able to respond to your dentist as needed. Nitrous oxide is a good option for patients of all ages and can be used during routine visits or dental treatment.

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation is administered in pill form prior to the start of your visit. By the time you sit in the dental chair, you should feel relaxed. Oral sedation is made to last for several hours, allowing your dentist to accomplish a lot in just one visit. Oral sedation is typically recommended for appointments involving some type of treatment.
