I’m nervous about my appointment. What sedation options do you have?

At Cardinal Family dentistry, we understand that dental phobia and anxiety are issues that affect millions of people. In fact, many people decide not to schedule appointments with a dentist because they are nervous. If you suffer from dental anxiety or phobia, we offer laughing gas sedation during your treatment to keep you comfortable and pain-free. This sedative is inhaled, so you won’t need to worry about needles. Another benefit of laughing gas is that it wears off quickly, so you can go about the rest of your day after your treatment as you normally would.

How does laughing gas work during a dental procedure?

Immediately before beginning your procedure, Dr. Barker will administer laughing gas. This sedative is inhaled, so no needles are involved. When laughing gas takes effect, it gives the patient a feeling of euphoria and relaxation. You’ll be awake during your procedure, but you’ll be calm and stress-free. When your procedure is complete, Dr. Barker will turn off the laughing gas, and the effects will wear off within minutes.

Can I drive after receiving sedation?

Yes! After receiving laughing gas during your procedure, you’ll be able to drive yourself home. Since laughing gas is inhaled during your procedure, once Dr. Barker removes the mask, you will recover quickly and be able to enjoy the rest of your day. If you think this is the right option for you, contact us to set up an appointment.

Is sedation dentistry safe?

Sedation dentistry is very safe, and laughing gas is the most common form of sedation for dental procedures. Dr. Barker is skilled and compassionate, and she will keep you informed along the way so you always know what to expect before, during, and after your treatment.
