Most of our restorative procedures require just a local anesthetic. This is used to help our patients feel less pain without effecting consciousness.

Nitrous Oxide is one of the most common forms of sedation in dentistry. Also, know as laughing gas, the patient will inhale the gas and within minutes will fall into a euphoric state and fell relaxed. This is especially helpful for adults who feel anxious and nervous when visiting the dentist. Dentist also find that sedation is very helpful when dealing with children who have trouble visiting the dentist as well.

Nitrous Oxide sedation is extremely safe and effective. The affects of the gas will wear off quickly once the dental procedure is done. If you or your child have trouble visiting the dentist, sedation dentistry is very helpful. For more questions and concerns about sedation dentistry and your child, contact Dr. Dickeys office today.
