What is Dental Sedation?
Dental sedation refers to a variety of techniques used to make patients more comfortable during dental procedures. Our dentists can help determine if a dental sedation option is right for you.
At Airport Heights Dental Health Centre, we do everything we can to help patients feel relaxed and comfortable during their dental appointments. In addition to offering sedation, we will work at your pace, take breaks when you need them, and provide calm reassurance as needed.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide with oxygen is inhaled through the nose. The nitrous oxide calms patients even though they remain awake and able to communicate. It can help to lessen anxiety, increase pain threshold, reduce gag reflex, and make time seem to pass more quickly.
