East Abbotsford Dental understands that for some people the thought of having any kind of dental treatment can create a great deal of stress and anxiety. In fact, a large number of people avoid visiting the dentist altogether because they are too nervous about what the treatment will entail. At East Abbotsford Dental, our priority is ensuring that you feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible from start to finish. That is why we are pleased to offer sedation dentistry options to help ease your anxieties and calm your nerves so you can receive the dental care you need.
Sedation dentistry provides patients various options to help keep calm, relaxed and comfortable during their dental visit and treatments. Using a combination of sedatives and comfort measures, East Abbotsford Dental ensures that taking care of your oral health needs is not a source of stress or anxiety for you.
Oral sedation provides light to moderate sedation to alleviate anxiety in patients. It involves taking one or two prescribed pills containing sedative medication before a procedure or appointment. The sedative promotes a more relaxed state during treatment and effectively reducing stress and anxiety. The initial dose is typically taken about an hour before the appointment. If necessary, an additional dose can be taken the night before the procedure to address anxiety-related insomnia, if approved and recommended by your dentist.
Nitrous oxide, commonly referred to as “laughing gas,” is a popular sedative method used to alleviate patient anxiety. Delivered through a face mask that is worn over the nose, you inhale a blend of oxygen and nitrous oxide, which induces relaxation and a calm, comfortable state during your treatment. As the sedation takes effect, you may feel a bit desensitized, but overall, you will experience a relaxed state. Patients opting for nitrous oxide can typically resume normal daily activities soon after the completion of the procedure. Nitrous oxide is a very safe and effective way to undergo treatment for all ages, including children!
