Why Choose Healthy Smiles Dental Care for Sedation Dentistry?
- Two Unique Sedation Options
- Kind and Accommodating Dental Specialists
- Conveniently Located for Chelsea Families
Oral Conscious Dental Sedation
With oral conscious sedation, our dentists will provide you with a pill and a series of instructions on how to properly administer it prior to your appointment. For example, you should take it several hours before your appointment. This means you’ll need to have a friend or family member drive you to and from the dental office. Once the sedative takes effect, you will feel drowsy, but still awake, meaning you’ll be able to answer simple questions and follow directions during your visit. If you have more severe dental phobia or anxiety, this option is likely the most suitable one for you.
Nitrous Oxide Dental Sedation
Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is a common and well-known type of sedation administered via a mask that is worn over your nose. Thanks to its anesthetic properties, it can be used to relieve discomfort as well as keep you calm during your treatment. We will closely monitor you throughout your whole procedure to ensure you get the amount you need to stay at ease the entire time. The effects of the gas should not remain after the mask is removed, meaning you can continue your day without interruption.
