Overview

Nitrous oxide, often referred to as "laughing gas," is a mild form of sedation that is inhaled through a mask placed over the nose. It induces a feeling of relaxation and euphoria, helping patients feel more at ease during their dental visit. The effects wear off quickly after the mask is removed, allowing patients to return to their daily activities immediately.

Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before the appointment, which induces a deeper state of relaxation. While you will remain conscious and able to respond to questions, you will likely have little to no memory of the procedure. Oral sedation is an excellent option for those with moderate anxiety or those undergoing more extensive dental work.

Intravenous (IV) sedation is administered through a vein, providing a deeper level of sedation. It is often used for patients with severe anxiety, complex procedures, or those who prefer to be in a state of deep relaxation during their treatment. With IV sedation, you will remain in a semi-conscious or drowsy state, and the dental team can adjust the level of sedation as needed throughout the procedure.
