Sedation dentistry utilizes medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s ideal for those who experience anxiety or fear when visiting the dentist, ensuring that dental health is never compromised by such concerns.

Patients opt for sedation dentistry for several reasons, such as:

• Dental anxiety or phobia: If a simple tooth cleaning makes you anxious, sedation dentistry might be the answer for you to get back to regular oral care.
• Sensitive teeth or low pain threshold: Sedation not only makes you calm, but it helps with pain management.
• Gag reflexes that interfere with dental work: We can get your regular cleanings and procedures back to an effective level by reducing a gag reflex that usually prevents dental tools from properly maneuvering.
• Major dental procedures: If you have a lot of work being done, or will be in the dentist’s chair for a long time, sedation can help time fly by with a significant reduction of pain.

At CNS Dental, we tailor the sedation to your needs:

• Nitrous Oxide: Also known as “laughing gas,” this mild sedative allows you to relax while remaining conscious.
• Oral Sedation: Taken in pill form before the appointment, this type of sedation can range from minimal to moderate.
• IV Sedation: Administered through a vein, this allows the dentist to continually adjust the level of sedation.
