We love taking care of your teeth, but we also know that not everyone loves going to the dentist. Sedation dentistry can make your next dental appointment the most comfortable one you've ever had. Learn more about the customized options we offer to make your next visit painless and anxiety-free.
Do you need sedation dentistry? If you identify with any of the following, you may want to talk to our dentist about sedation for your next procedure.
Sedation dentistry can change how you think about going to the dentist. Our relaxation options help you to feel comfortable while our easy-going, professional staff focus on giving you their expert care. At our Embrun office, we offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation.
The better choice of these two for you depends on whether you want immediate relaxation while in the chair or need something to help you throughout the entire visit.
Nitrous oxide often goes by its more informal name of "laughing gas." To use this type of sedation, you have a mask that you inhale the gas from whenever you need to relax during the procedure.
Our patients love having complete control over the amount of sedation they have. Plus, this option's effects wear off quickly after you stop using it.
If your greatest concern is feeling anxiety or discomfort once the procedure begins, nitrous oxide might be the right sedation option for you.
With oral sedation, you will have a medicine that you take before your appointment. Because this medicine may impact your driving ability, please have someone responsible to bring you to our office and take you home. By the time that you arrive at Tuli Dental, the medicine should be in effect to help calm and relax you from the time you walk into the door.
Unlike nitrous oxide that wears off quickly, oral sedation lasts much longer, helping you to avoid jitters throughout your visit.
If you have anxiety as soon as you enter the office due to previous trauma, smells, sounds, or other factors, oral sedation might be a good choice for you.
We get a lot of questions about our sedation dentistry options and how we use it. Below are some of the most common. Also, feel free to talk to our staff about any concerns or questions you have about your personalized sedation experience.
The amount of time sedation needs to wear off depends on the type you receive. For example, you may feel immediately better after taking off a nitrous oxide mask. However, when using oral sedation, you may feel sleepy for the rest of the day.
Be safe and plan to have someone bring you to your appointment and take you home, especially if you have oral sedation.
Sedation dentistry is generally safe for most people and has a low level of risk. Plus, with sedation, you keep your blood pressure regulated during the procedure and avoid dental anxiety.
We'll talk with you about the sedation options you can use based on your personal preferences and type of treatment to minimize risk and maximize benefits.
