We realize that not everyone is excited to go to the dentist, and that some patients experience stressful anxiety or fear when thinking about the dentist! If you regularly skip your dental appointments because of anxiety, you’re at a greater risk of developing dental disease.
Sedation dentistry allows those who suffer from mild to severe dental anxiety to feel at ease during their treatments so they can reap the benefits of attentive, professional dental services without having to put themselves through an uncomfortable situation.
If you feel stressed about visiting the dentist, we invite you to Farmington Dental & Orthodontics. We offer two relaxing dental sedation options to help you achieve your dental wellness goals.
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide is a gas that you inhale through a nose nose. Although its calming effects quickly set in, you will still be conscious during your treatment. Then once the mask is removed, you will quickly feel alert and ready to resume your normal activities (like driving yourself home after your appointment).
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation is administered through a prescribed pill that you take before your appointment. This type of sedation causes you to become deeply relaxed; you might even fall asleep during your treatment. Because it takes several hours for the effects of oral conscious sedation to wear off, you need to have someone take you home after your visit.
Is Dental Sedation Safe?
Sedation dentistry is safe and effective when administered by our specially-trained team! And most patients are good candidates for dental sedation. Before proceeding with any dental sedation option, we will thoroughly review your medical history, current medications, and what to expect with sedation to ensure your safety and comfort.
