Conscious sedation in dentistry or sleep dentistry uses a mild sedative to help you relax during a dental procedure or exam. Our dentists may recommend laughing gas or another type of sedation to help you stay calm and feel less anxious while at your appointment.
Preventive dental measures can help to keep your teeth healthy and strong. This reduces your risk of developing a dental issue and needing more intensive treatments. For example, when you brush and floss your teeth, you remove the bacteria and plaque. If this builds up on your teeth and gums, you may develop gum disease, which requires more invasive treatment. In some cases, gum disease can even lead to tooth loss. By brushing and flossing your teeth twice daily, you can prevent many of these issues, saving time and money.
The best way to know whether sedation dentistry is right for you is by talking to our dentists. After a consultation, we will determine whether you are a good candidate for sedation dentistry. It’s a good option for those who are anxious about dental visits.

You may not need sedatives every time you visit the dentist. You might choose to use sedation dentistry during a longer procedure or an operation you’re more concerned about.
