Oral sedation is an oral sedative taken an hour before treatment or upon arrival at our office. The potency of the sedative will depend on the type of medication and your unique needs. You may feel a range of relaxation from a moderate decrease in anxiety to so fully relaxed you fall asleep. We recommend patients who undergo this form of dental anesthesia have a friend or family member accompany them home.
Nitrous oxide is commonly known as “laughing gas.” This form of dental anesthesia is a gaseous medication inhaled through a nasal mask, leaving patients feeling drowsy and relaxed during treatment. Many enjoy this form of dental anesthesia because they remain conscious, relaxed, and responsive during care. Once treatment is complete, the nitrous oxide is stopped and replaced with oxygen until mask removal. The effects of this form of sedation dentistry wear off quickly, and you should be able to see yourself home.
Sedation dentistry may be the solution to tackle your oral health and prevent bigger dental and systemic problems. Tooth decay can gradually lead to tooth loss while the disease-causing bacteria spreads through the body, creating complications like high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. We don’t think anyone should experience these side effects, so we encourage everyone with dental fear to consider sedation dentistry in Berkeley, CA, and Walnut Creek, CA.
Sedation dentistry has helped many individuals overcome their fear of visiting the dentist and taking charge of their oral health.
