Nitrous Oxide and Your Dental Visit
There are some people who are fine with visiting the dentist. There are others who look forward to their appointment every six months. And then there are those people who may experience anything from mild anxiety to a phobia when it comes to seeing the dentist. Many people are nervous or or even frightened at the prospect of a dental visit. While such feelings are not uncommon, if they keep you from your dental appointments, you run the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral problems. Instead of avoiding your dentist, why not talk to [himher] about your dental anxiety? Fear should not keep you out of the dentist chair, and your dentist will be happy to work with you to find a solution. One way to address your dental anxiety is through the use of nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas has been used in many dental practices for years, and many dentist prefer to use it for the sedation of children. It is mixed with oxygen, and administered to the patient through a mask placed over the nose. The patient will be relaxed, but will not be unconscious and can still communicate with the dental staff if necessary. The effects of the gas wear off within minutes after it has been removed, and there are no lingering effects. In fact, you will be able to drive yourself home after your appointment If visiting the dentist sends a chill up your spine, talk to our dentist, Dr. [doctor_name] about using nitrous oxide. If you live in the [city], [state], area and would like to schedule an appointment at [practice_name], call [phone] today.
Feel More Comfortable With Sedation Dentistry
If you often become nervous or anxious before dental treatment, we encourage you to ask Dr. [doctor_name] about sedation dentistry in [city], [state]. Our dentist and team are committed to helping you feel calm and relaxed in the dental chair. Sedation dentistry is also used for complex treatments. We offer several types of dental sedation at our dental office. Nitrous Oxide Nitrous oxide, which is commonly known as “laughing gas,” can help decrease nervousness or anxiety and increase comfort and ease. Nitrous oxide is very safe and will not put you to sleep. A small mask will be placed over your mouth and nose, through which the nitrous oxide will be inhaled. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, so you should be able to drive yourself home after your visit. Oral Sedation Oral sedation uses a pill that is taken by mouth about an hour before your appointment. Oral sedation will make you drowsy, but you will remain awake. The dosage given will be based on your needs and our dentist’s suggestion. Some patients become drowsy enough that they drift off during treatment, but they can be awakened with a gentle shake. IV Sedation IV sedation involves a sedative being injected into a vein. With this technique, Dr. [doctor_name] can provide a deeper level of sedation. You will be awake, but you won’t remember much of your visit. IV sedation requires recovery time after you leave the office. For more information about sedation dentistry and to schedule a visit, feel free to contact [practice_name] today.
