Feeling anxious about receiving dental treatment is more common than you might think. At Smiles on X, we offer sedation options designed to help you feel more relaxed and comfortable during your dental care. Whether you need a little help taking the edge off or have significant dental anxiety, we can discuss the sedation option that may be right for you.
Our goal is to make your experience feel calm, comfortable, and manageable from the moment you walk through our doors. In-house sedation options at Smiles on X include:
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide sedation, often called laughing gas, is a mild form of sedation that can help you feel calm and relaxed during treatment. It is inhaled through a small mask placed over your nose and takes effect quickly. Nitrous oxide can be a great option for patients who experience mild dental anxiety or simply want to feel more at ease during their appointment.
Oral Conscious Sedation
For patients with greater dental anxiety, oral conscious sedation can provide a deeper level of relaxation while allowing you to remain conscious and responsive throughout treatment. Medication is taken as directed before your appointment to help you feel calm and comfortable during your visit.
Oral conscious sedation can be especially helpful for patients who have significant dental anxiety, have had difficult dental experiences in the past, or need more extensive treatment.
