Overcome Dental Anxiety with Sedation Dentistry
At Shore Lake Dental, we know how stressful dental visits can be. If you find yourself dreading coming to the dentist, we offer sedation dentistry at our offices in and around Clearwater, FL to help you relax.Â
Comprehensive Sedation Options for Every Comfort Level
We know that dental anxiety affects everyone differently. That’s why Shore Lake Dental offers several types of sedation designed to fit each patient’s needs and medical situation.
Nitrous Oxide SedationÂ
This option provides mild relaxation that takes effect quickly and wears off rapidly after treatment completion. Nitrous oxide is also known as laughing gas, is administered with oxygen to ensure patient safety and facilitate quick recovery.Â
This option helps you feel calm quickly and wears off soon after your appointment. Nitrous oxide, also called laughing gas, is given with oxygen for safety and a fast recovery. It allows you to stay awake and aware while easing anxiety, and many patients say it makes them feel relaxed during the procedure.
Oral Conscious SedationÂ
With oral sedation, you take prescribed medication before your appointment to help you relax more deeply. This option is great for patients with moderate anxiety or for longer procedures. You stay awake and able to respond, but feel drowsy and much less worried about treatment.
After any sedation procedure, patients should arrange for a friend or family member to drive them home for safety.
Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation can be especially helpful for patients who experience:
- Dental anxiety or past traumatic experiences
- A pronounced gag reflex
- Jaw or muscle discomfort during procedures
- Neurological or sensory sensitivities
