What is sedation dentistry?


Sedation dentistry can help patients of any age relax and relieve the stress that may be associated with dental visits. If your child experiences dental anxiety or is often at unease when sitting in the dental chair, they may benefit from sedation dentistry. Our sedation options include nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and general anesthesia.

How long does dental oral sedation last?


The effects of sedation dentistry will vary on which sedation method is selected. Nitrous oxide quickly wears off within minutes of removing the mask that is administering laughing gas. Oral conscious sedation can make children feel drowsy for a couple of hours after the appointment, and general anesthesia may last for hours after. During treatment, we’ll explain the potential effects of sedation and how to care for your child who is receiving sedation.
