Dental Sedation Makes Beneficial Smile Care Possible

Not every patient can comfortably lie back while we work on their smiles. Some people get so nervous and fidgety that they put off dental care indefinitely. Others need an extended procedure or want to get several procedures completed at one time. For others, a sensitive gag reflex can make it hard to get the dental care they need.

Dental sedation can help in all these scenarios by making your treatment more comfortable. Over the years, we’ve been able to help countless patients relax using our sedation methods. There are many types of patients, so we offer you a choice of three great sedation options:

  • Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide) – You’ll inhale this sweet-smelling gas through a small mask over your nose. In moments, you’ll begin to feel relaxed from head to toe as the sedative begins to take effect. Your arms and legs may even feel a big tingly. The effects will wear off quickly, however, and you’ll be able to drive yourself home safely.
  • Minimal Oral Conscious Sedation – Dr. Cody will prescribe a small pill that you’ll take ahead of your treatment. It will put you in a completely relaxed state by the time your appointment begins. The effects will linger for several hours, so a friend or family member will need to drive you home.
  • IV Sedation – This works well for lengthy or complicated procedures as it puts you into a dreamlike state. After your treatment, you may not remember much about your visit. Like oral sedation, you’ll want to arrange a ride home.

Don’t put off getting the care your smile needs to shine.

Call our office today at 651-439-4945 to learn more or book an appointment for your initial consultation.

We look forward to helping you smile a little brighter with sedation options in Stillwater!
