Oral Conscious Sedation
For oral conscious sedation, patients take a pill before their visit that “kicks in” by the time treatment starts. This medicine prompts a deep state of relaxation while leaving you awake and lucid, though it’ll make you groggy after your procedure. Such effects are why oral conscious sedation is best suited for those with strong fears or who need complex care. This also means you’ll need someone to drive you to and from our office.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide sedation is a lot milder than the “oral conscious” method, so it’s a fine choice for patients with low fear and anxiety. It works by administering nitrous oxide (i.e., “laughing gas”) through a nose mask you wear during care. By inhaling through this mask, you’ll quickly feel relaxed enough for our team to complete your treatment. Since this effect fades fast once you stop breathing the gas, you can resume everyday activities right after the procedure.
