This method of sedation allows you to relax during your treatment, and resume your normal activities after your appointment! You will feel the effects within minutes and these effects are completely gone within minutes of the gas being turned off after your treatment.
Inhalation analgesia (also known as nitrous oxide or "laughing gas") is one of the more commonly requested types of anesthesia from people who have anxieties about their procedure. It is administered via a small nose-hood placed over the nose through which nitrous oxide is delivered prior to and throughout treatment.
Safe, economical and convenient, oral sedation delivers a more relaxed state than Nitrous Oxide sedation.
Oral sedation or oral conscious sedation (OCS) - most often associated with sedation dentistry - produces moderate sedation via oral medication dispensed to the patient before the appointment to diminish awareness of pain, sounds and smells.
The patient is instructed to take the medication prior to being driven to the appointment by a responsible caregiver and, once at the appointment, may receive additional medication as needed to ensure comfort.
With IV Sedation, your appointment will be a dream and hours in the chair will feel like minutes! Although you will not be asleep, you will enjoy a heightened state of relaxation and will have little memory of your procedure afterwards.
Intravenous sedation can also make people feel as if they are actually asleep, much like oral sedation. The difference between oral and intravenous sedation is the route of administration. Administered via injection, intravenous sedation has an almost instantaneous effect and is best used for shorter dental procedures.
