What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s an excellent option for those with dental phobias, sensitive gag reflexes, or who require extensive dental work. With sedation dentistry, the team at Larson Dental ensures that each patient’s experience is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Our Sedation Options

Nitrous Oxide

One of the most commonly used forms of sedation at Larson Dental is nitrous oxide, often referred to as “laughing gas.” This safe and effective sedative is administered through a small mask placed over the patient’s nose. It induces a state of deep relaxation while allowing them to remain conscious and responsive.

The advantage of nitrous oxide is its quick onset and offset, providing a swift recovery after the procedure. Patients can even drive themselves home after their appointment. Drs. Larson carefully monitors the dosage, ensuring the patient’s comfort and safety throughout the entire process.

Oral Conscious Sedation

For those seeking a deeper level of relaxation, Larson Dental offers oral conscious sedation. This method involves taking a prescribed sedative pill before the appointment. While the patient will still be conscious, they may enter a dream-like state, feeling completely at ease throughout the procedure.

This option is ideal for patients with heightened anxiety or those undergoing extensive dental treatments. Drs. Larson will conduct a thorough assessment of each patient’s medical history and individual needs to determine the appropriate dosage.
