What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry involves using medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. At MB Dental at Heights, we offer several types of sedation, ranging from mild relaxation to deep sedation, ensuring that patients with any level of anxiety can receive the dental care they need.
How Common Is Dental Anxiety?
Dental anxiety is a widespread issue, affecting up to 36% of patients. For many, this fear leads to delaying or avoiding essential dental care. With sedation dentistry, patients can conquer their anxiety, making it easier to maintain their oral health and confidently attend dental appointments.
What Is Nitrous Oxide Sedation?
Nitrous oxide is one of the lightest forms of sedation and is perfect for patients with mild to moderate anxiety. It helps take the edge off without putting you to sleep, allowing you to stay fully conscious during your procedure.
How It Works
- A small mask is placed over your nose, delivering a combination of nitrous oxide and oxygen.
- Within minutes, you will start to feel calm and relaxed.
- Once your treatment is over, the gas wears off quickly, so you can safely drive home on your own.
Other Tips For Managing Dental Anxiety
In addition to sedation options, here are a few ways to help ease your anxiety:
- Bring headphones to listen to music or a calming podcast during your visit.
- Practice deep breathing exercises or meditation to relax before and during your appointment.
- Talk openly with our team about your concerns; we are here to help make your experience as comfortable as possible.
