Dental Sedation
Dental sedation refers to the different techniques offered to try to ease the anxiety of patients during dental procedures. Contact our dentists to determine if dental sedation is the right option for you.
At Kerhoulas Dental Streetsville, we do everything we can to help patients feel relaxed and comfortable during their dental appointments. Not only do we offer dental sedation, but we will also take breaks if needed and work at your pace, providing reassurance every step of the way.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide is inhaled through the mouth and nose. The medication won't allow you to lose consciousness, but it will calm patients while still allowing you to communicate with your dentist. It also tends to lower anxiety, increase pain threshold, reduce gag reflex and make time pass more quickly.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedatives are pills or liquids that need to be prescribed by your dentist. The medication is taken orally before coming in for your dental appointment. It leaves you awake and responsive for the procedure, but produces a calming effect to allow you to feel relaxed.
