Visiting the dentist can be a scary proposition for some, especially if you have had a negative dental experience in the past. At Perfect Smiles Dentistry, we do everything in our power to help change that narrative and get you the help you need to improve your oral health in a compassionate and caring environment. In addition to being extra communicative, offering industry-leading amenities, and having a highly trained staff, we also utilize various sedation dentistry methods to help you relax during your appointments.
Nitrous Oxide, also known as laughing gas, is one of the three sedation methods we offer at Perfect Smiles. This odorless gas is released through a nose mask and will help you stay relaxed during the procedure. The colorless gas will create a tingling sensation that will spread through your body and reduce anxiety. To create a more comfortable visit for you, nitrous oxide will keep you conscious during your procedure. You can let us know at any time how you're feeling and if there is anything else we can do to make your appointment even more comfortable for you by adjusting the dose you receive. The gas will wear off in about 30 minutes after your procedure and you will be good to drive home.
Oral sedation is the second kind of method we offer for sedation. This method is given in pill form that you will take about an hour before your appointment. The pill could be strong enough to allow you to fall asleep during the appointment because it targets the part of your brain that controls fear and anxiety. The pill will decrease the activity in this part of your brain and you will be fully relaxed and comfortable for the duration of the procedure. This easiest sedation method to administer.
The third kind of sedation method we provide at Perfect Smiles is local anesthesia. This method is administered with a needle and will provide local pain relief where the procedure will take place. You will not feel any pain during your procedure. This type of method is typically used for smaller procedures such as cavity fillings. You will be conscious during your appointment and will be numb for a few hours after.
