Reduce Anxiety & Experience Calm With Sedation Dentistry
Navigating dental procedures can be a source of anxiety for many patients, and our dental professionals understand that. That's why we prioritize your peace of mind and focus on inducing tranquility by offering sedation dentistry in Fort Saskatchewan, AB. Whether you’re interested in IV sedation or nitrous oxide, we use both methods at our clinic to soothe your stress and ensure a pleasant visit to our practice!
What Is Nitrous Oxide and IV Sedation?
IV Sedation:
IV sedation involves administering sedative medication intravenously to allow for quick onset and precise control over sedation levels. This solution is designed to provide a deeper level of sedation, resulting in little to no memory of the procedure.
Nitrous Oxide:
Often͏͏ referred͏͏ to͏͏ as͏͏ “laughing͏͏ gas,”͏͏ nitrous͏͏ oxide͏͏ is͏͏ a͏͏ mild͏͏ sedative͏͏ that’s͏͏ inhaled͏͏ through͏͏ a͏͏ small͏͏ mask͏͏ mixed͏͏ with͏͏ oxygen͏͏ and͏͏ placed͏͏ over͏͏ the͏͏ nose.͏͏ It͏͏ induce͏͏s a͏͏ state͏͏ of͏͏ relaxation͏͏ while͏͏ keeping͏͏ you͏͏ awake͏͏ and͏͏ responsive.͏͏ The͏͏ effects͏͏ should͏͏ subside͏͏ fairly͏͏ swiftly͏͏ once͏͏ the͏͏ mask͏͏ is͏͏ removed,͏͏ allowing͏͏ you͏͏ to͏͏ resume͏͏ your͏͏ normal͏͏ activities͏͏ shortly͏͏ after͏͏ treatment.
Who Can Benefit From Sedation Dentistry?
- Patients With Dental-Related Fears: Individuals with anxiety or phobias that are directly correlated to visiting the dentist can significantly benefit from sedation to help ease stress and support a positive chairside experience.
