We understand that for many people, the prospect of having any kind of dental treatment induces a high level of anxiety. In fact, a large number of people avoid visiting the dentist altogether because they are too nervous about what the treatment will entail. At Redstone Smiles Dental, it is our top priority to ensure that patients feel as comfortable as possible during all appointments. That is why we are pleased to offer sedation dentistry options, including nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation, to help ease your anxiety so you can receive the dental care you need.

What is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry provides options to help keep patients calm and relaxed during their dental visit. Through the use of sedatives and comfort measures, taking care of your oral health needs does not need to be painful or stressful.

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide, commonly referred to as laughing gas, offers light sedation for mild to moderately anxious patients, or anyone who would benefit from feeling calmer during a dental visit. Administered through a mask that is worn over the nose, patients breathe in a mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide, which helps to relax them and allows them to remain calm and comfortable during treatment.

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation offers light to moderate sedation to anxious patients. Administered by taking one or two prescribed pills of a sedative medication before a procedure or appointment, it is strong enough to bring about a feeling of sleepiness and therefore a more relaxed state. This ultimately helps to alleviate stress or anxiety. An initial dose is taken about an hour before your appointment. Sometimes an additional dose may be taken the night before a procedure to help with anxiety-related insomnia.

IV Sedation

An intravenous method of sedation offers immediate effect through administration through the bloodstream through a carefully placed IV in the vein. With IV sedation, also known as twilight, your dentist is able to adjust the dosage from minimal to deep, which allows patients to still be awake during the procedure but feel no pain. It also allows the dentist the ability to administer another drug to wake you up later on.

With sedation dentistry, nervous patients can receive the oral care and attention they need without the worry and anxiety involved.
