Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry not only helps with pain relief, but it can offer patients a way of relaxing during dental treatments. Noble Smiles Dentistry focuses on making patients feel comfortable. That is why we provide amenities such as Netflix and video games while you wait for treatment. Sedation dentistry allows you to receive the treatments you need, even if you have anxiety about visiting the dentist.

There are a number of different options for sedation available from Noble Smiles Dentistry. The level of sedation also varies depending on the type of sedation used. To help patients understand how sedation dentistry will affect them, dentists generally use language that the average person can understand to describe each method.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral conscious sedation is a medicinal method that leaves you conscious while treatment is carried out. You may feel drowsy during treatment but won’t feel any pain. This type of sedation is suitable for patients who feel anxious about visiting the dentist. It will help you relax and prevents feelings of anxiety. Noble Smiles Dentistry will always ask you about your medical history before administering oral conscious sedation medications.

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide is a popular method of sedation dentistry due to how it makes patients feel during treatment. This type of sedation is administered through a mask in the form of a gas. Most patients will recognize nitrous oxide by its more common name, laughing gas. When you are sedated with nitrous oxide, you will most likely feel giddy and may not even remember receiving treatment.
