What are my options for dental sedation?

Nitrous Oxide: Also known as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is a safe and effective sedative administered through a comfortable mask placed over the nose. It is often used for minor procedures and wears off quickly post-treatment.
Oral Conscious Sedation: Oral conscious sedation involves the administration of a prescribed medication to be taken prior to the appointment, which produces a calming effect and allows patients to remain conscious but deeply relaxed throughout the procedure.
IV Sedation: Intravenous sedation involves the administration of sedative medications directly into the bloodstream via an IV line, achieving a state of deep relaxation or even sleep during dental procedures while still allowing the patient to be responsive to questions.
Oraverse: Oraverse is a reversal agent used in dentistry to counteract the effects of local anesthesia after dental treatment, accelerating the return of normal sensation and reducing the duration of numbness in the lips and mouth.

What are the benefits of sedation dentistry?

One of the key advantages of dental sedation is that it helps alleviate anxiety and promotes a relaxed state, allowing patients to receive the dental care they need without distress. Sedation dentistry is particularly advantageous for patients with a low pain threshold, sensitive gag reflex, and those who experience difficulty sitting still for prolonged periods. Children, patients with special needs, and patients with moderate to severe anxiety are often good candidates for sedation, as it can help them remain calm and still so that they can receive the treatments they need.

Is dental sedation safe?

At Walnut Ranch Dental Spa, patient safety is our number one priority. Before dental sedation is added to a patient’s treatment plan, our team reviews their medical history, current health status, and current medications to determine if dental sedation is a safe and effective option for them. We are also happy to answer any questions or concerns a patient may have to ensure that they will receive the sedation option that best fits their unique preferences and needs.
