Nitrous Oxide and Oral Sedation

We understand that undergoing dental procedures can be stressful or even frightening for some people. But, we don't want that to deter you from getting the dental care you need. We offer both nitrous oxide and oral sedation to help you feel more comfortable and less anxious about the procedure.

• Nitrous Oxide: With this form of sedation, you breathe nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, through a nose mask. In addition to feeling more calm and relaxed, you'll feel some numbing of the cheeks.
• Oral Sedation: For those who need a sedative stronger than nitrous oxide, there are several oral options available. Oral sedatives are administered approximately one hour before the procedure.
