Get Different Types of Sedation For Different Situations
From laughing gas, the mildest form of sedation dentistry, to oral sedation, we can provide sedation dentistry in Ozark, MO for any number of situations, depending on your needs. This is what each type involves:
- Laughing gas, nitrous oxide, is administered through a small mask you wear over your nose and produces a mild euphoria. It takes effect quickly and wears off quickly at the end, so you can conceivably drive yourself home. The levels are adjustable, and it is safe for patients of any age.
- Oral sedation comes to you as a prescribed medication. You simply take the pill before your appointment so you will be perfectly relaxed for the duration of your dental procedure. The effects last for a few hours, so it is always best to line up a ride for after your appointment.
Dental Sedation Helps With More Than Fear
Dental sedation options are great for folks experiencing dental anxiety or a flat-out fear of the dentist. Sedation is also helpful when you’re planning to participate in a lengthy procedure or receive multiple treatments in one convenient visit. Other scenarios where sedation is handy include:
- When you have an intense gag reflex
- If you can’t get sufficiently numb with local anesthesia
- If your treatment involves oral surgery
Because of its many applications, sedation is a viable option for just about every dental patient, including individuals with special needs. Our goal is to make dental care as comfortable and accessible as possible for each individual who visits our friendly office.
Whether you’re feeling anxious about your upcoming appointment or think you’ll have trouble not fidgeting during a lengthy procedure, our sedation options in Ozark can help!
