Prescribed and taken orally, oral sedation can be taken an hour before treatment or upon arrival at our office. Depending on the type and potency of the medication, our patients may feel anything from a moderate decrease in anxiety to feeling so relaxed they fall asleep in the chair! With this sedation, it may be necessary for a friend or family member to provide transportation home.
Often referred to as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is a gaseous medication inhaled through a nasal mask. While this gas may not make patients laugh, patients often feel drowsy and relaxed through their treatment, while remaining conscious and responsive throughout their procedure. Once treatment is completed, the nitrous oxide is stopped and only oxygen is breathed until the mask is removed. The effects will wear off quickly, allowing you to drive yourself home.
Administered intravenously, this type of sedation puts patients into a sleeplike state, though they will remain awake during their procedure. With amnesic effects, many patients who receive IV sedation may forget parts of their care or the entirety of their treatment. IV sedation is an ideal choice for patients with more severe anxiety and those needing more complex treatments. With some lasting effects, patients will need someone to drive them home after their visit.
If you feel anxious about the sights, sounds or smells of a dental office, sedation dentistry may be the solution for you! Sedation dentistry eases anxieties and phobias, helping you remain calm and comfortable during dental procedures.
The choice of sedation will be determined by your level of dental fear and customized to your treatment. Since different types of sedation work for different patients, Dr. Kumar ensures to build the best fitting sedation option into each patient’s personalized treatment plan to make for a dental visit that’s relaxed, safe and comfortable.
We have sedation options for patients with minimal to more severe dental anxiety and can create a calming environment by offering options that allow patients to remain conscious and some that allow patients to fall asleep during their visit.
Our sedation dentistry can help you feel more comfortable so you can receive the care you need and deserve!
